Rear lights intresting problem!
-> 206 Problems

#1: Rear lights intresting problem! Author: frenchfrog40, Location: Maidstone PostPosted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:21 pm
    ----
I recently put the 206 sport lights that came on my old 180 onto my new xsi as the original lights were flooding. Then a few weeks later I changed the left break light as it had blown.
Tonight I noticed (so its only started since changing bulb) that the indicators and break lights are fine. However, when you lock or unlock the car or put hazards on something odd happens.
The left cluster doesn't do anything, the right break light flashes (just like indicators do in hazards) and so does the 3rd break light.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.

Try to clean the connections as good as possible.

It could be a 'Dirty Earth'.

As said, check all of the connections to see if any are damaged. When the earth connection is bad the lights can earth through eachother causing strange effects!
