    You've got a bad earth somewhere. Any minor shunts lately that might have damaged something? Other than that you are going to have to check the wiring of each lamp to make sure there is a good earth connection between the lamp and the body.

    One other possibility is that you may have changed a tail-lamp bulb before the trouble started. You may have used the wrong type of bulb... a twin filament bulb where there should be a single filament or visa versa.

    Funny you should mention it ,I came around a corner the other night the back of the car clipped a big pothole shook the whole car the indicators wouldn't work after that,the only time I changed the bulbs was yesterday,so a bad earth would sound right thanks for the reply
