Important! : back lights problem! - Saxperience

Hello people

well, yesterday i got my car back finally from getting a new engine fitted.

before it went to the garage, i had a back/brake light bulb that stopped working, so i replaced it yesterday, however this didnt solve the problem, when i was putting the bulb in, it made my brake lights flash, then when i went to test the idicators but putting the hazards on, my brake light that i replaced started flashing.

Now alot of my bulbs dont work, and none of my brake lights work when i push the brake

i really dont know whats going on

any ideas people? thankyou in advance

just checked the lights on the car this morning and my brake lights etc are working again so i think its maybe fixed

I had this prob last weekend when changing a bulb - others stopped working!

In my case it was all loose connections and a bit if fiddling got them back on.

i had the same problem it was simply a dodgey connection just check all the wiring coming off the lights and push them into the conector firmly

i put a better altenator in and since then i had a bad earth on my right tail light, when i put it in reverse all my lights would come on, and when i indicate my lights would flash between the rear indicator and my brake lights haha my mate sorted the earth today anyway
