Earth point for rear lights loom?

[david burton]

Hi,

My rear lights have just started playing up. Last night the upper sidelight failed, but after taking the lights off, sanding the contact points and putting it back it worked.

Tonight, the indicator failed (same cluster). Did the same as last night and all is well. Put the cluster back in and the upper sidelight failed again. When unclipping the bulb holder it came back on again!

Any ideas before the weekend arrives? I will chase the earth point but I'm not sure this is it - I also cleaned the connector socket.

[K.I.T.T.]

Well, the earth point is behind the carpet that covers the rear passengers side wing...although I've gotta feeling this isn't what you're asking!

no that's the one - I want to make sure the earth is good before I chase other issues!

thanks
