Postby gareth1979 » Wed Nov 14, 2018 1:55 pm

hi just failed my mot on my mk6 transit t350 seems to be electrical problems with the lights ,hers what it reads on the mot sheet

STOP LAMPS ALL NOT WORKING ONLY WHEN SIDE LIGHTS ARE ON

also

ALL POSITION LAMPS ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE OPERATATION OF ANOTHER LAMP ILLUMINATE WHEN STOP LIGHTS ARE APPLIED

my brakes lights stopped working a while bacvk and i changed the bulbs and noticed the connections where rusty i sanded these down and all was good im thinking i may have done something at that point to cause the problem im a novice but want to try and sort this myself anyone got any ideas or pointers then it would be much appreciated

Poor connections as you know and bad earth, I used to just wriggle my right connector wires and it would start flashing.

Check the holders and the plug at the top of the bulb holders for more corosion, if its been there before it will reapear also the earth connection where it bolts to the body.

Yeah man my arsewashers always do dat sh*t
With being moist inside
I end up soldering wires on the bulb holders and bypassing the plug of corrosion that it clips on to
Otherwise your messing with it every week
