hi all.

last time i went out in the van i realised the warning buzzer in my car wasnt working when i indicatord right. after investigating realised there was no power going down the right hand side of the van and i found the 12n black lead had been trailing on the flooor and was riped to shreds. so i have striped the wires back and put a new plug on and have wired it back how it was originally and followed the wiring on the packet so that part of the problem is ok but now both indicators dont work, the back and front lights flash when i put the indicators on and all the bulbs that do work are very dim! please please help!!! ps its a 93 ace tycoon

redo the wiring in the plug make sure you got plenty of copper exposed and inserted in the plug and tighten up, could be a case of the insulation is stopping it from making full contact.
