That's just a wire swap at the back.... You need to run earths FROM THE REAR LIGHTS to good bright chassis connections..

Hmmm ok haha and hmm ok well I will attempt to just fit an earth and see what happens but just thought could the flasher unit be at any fault? There seems to be a separate one for neg earth on esm and it does seem to take a while for them to decide to work haha

Why on earth (pun intended) would it be the flasher unit???????????

Oh haha and we'll not for the funky earthing but the odd siding Indications and also that they take ages to come on if at all sometimes
Also there seems to be a negative earth flasher unit on esm so wondered if someone was done wrong during the negative conversion maybe

Heya guys went out for a drive tonight yes with my funky indicators but I've tried using my special system of who needs my light more to only be on my way home and get honked at I got home to see what they were moaning about and my indicators have magically fixed them self
We fitted a radio to mine and we checked the lights after and they were still playing around as we were going to look into finding the issue so the radio wasn't the fix
Later on I thought I would get the fuse box off and completely clean It up as I was getting an odd earth for the radio
That's all I've done since so could the fuse box really have Been the problem
I will keep my eye on it over the next few days but it seems as if its fixed. all lights in correct place and indicating correctly

No! But just perhaps possible the rear lights were somehow 'earthing' out through the other side - giving the impression of working wrong way round....... although I really can't see how........

Exactly what I'm thinking I'm sure I sound stupid to you but I honestly am still stumped how the hell it could have been the fuse box but I can't think what else it was I have not touched any earth's since or any connections since either other than fitting the 3 terminals to the fuse box and cleaning the box up lol

You need to sort this out once and for all - because incorrect signalling could cause a serious accident.

Yeah I know that's why I was going to have a look at it this week again but I'm going to check it over the next few days and see if it's sorted or not
