Lights Dimming

    Hi all,

    Hope someone can help on this one. My GF's car (95 Mazda 323f) has been acting strangely recently. Basically the head lights are dimming when I brake, sometimes applying indicator makes radio switch to CD, dimming lights and switching back to full can do strange stuff to radio. When indication and braking the speed of the repeater slows down, and even once while turning on the lights the speedo dropped to 0 and the car chucked and then continued as normal.

    I'm hoping this is a simple fix, any one any ideas?

    Thanks

    You have a problem with electrical EARTH connection in your lighting circuits.

    Check out the earth connection at each light cluster, undo, clean and replace, making sure you get good clean contact between bare metal on both the body and the connector.
