hi guys, could potentially be a simple fix, but with past experiences to fix this is a simple blown globe replacement job, but my globe is fine, and the indicator fuse is fine. it started after i was fixing some wireing to the ecu, there were dodgy solders from the last owner so i fixed them all up, im confident i did a good job.

what else can cause 1 indicator (not a whole side) to not work and the rest on that side blink fast, but the other side of the car work normal and blink slower.

when i put my hazards on the same one still doesnt work

cheers

Are the tail lights grounded individually or on a circuit with these?

Sounds like a poor earth.

But please.. check the globe first.

I had a the similar issues with my ute, one tail light was off and on and doing weird shit. After tearing the entire rear wiring out of the thing I discovered it was the high/low beam switch earth which was/is on the same circuit.

Have a look and see if there's anything else on that circuit.. if so check it out.

If it's a shared circuit and the issue is further up the line yes and it would also cause the weirdness happening with everything else on that circuit.

If i can remember where i left the r33 wiring diagrams i have i'll have a look tonight/tomorrow and see if anything stands out to me.

*edit a small short or faulty switch in the circuit could also do the same thing.

If the switch was faulty then the front left and side indicator wouldnt work would it?

I'm not familiar with the switch used in these, so depends on what kind of switch and wiring it has, could be a shared circuit or completely separate.

    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
