hi guys hope you can help
now the car is gq patrol 4.2 deisel
when i put the indicators on they all flash. so i put the right blinker on and the left flashes to, but not as bright and same when i put the left on.
i have put a new indicator stalk in and tried a different flasher as well. been looking at the earths but everything looks okay. what do i look for next.

this is really starting to give me the sh1ts

Do you have a separate flasher can for the hazard lights? If so, find that and remove it, and test again.

Bad earths can give very unpredictable results.

Corrosion is number two culprit
