When I brought my old ZH (many moons ago) only one brake light worked.
So when I got the car home I started looking , only to find that all the connections had corroded, the solution to the problem was to put XB lamp holders in. |

| if the stick is really loose, that can be the problem, the flasher unit is the thing that goes tick tick tick when you indicate. |

| well if it goes tick tick tick, the flasher unit could be intermittent, if the stick is loose, wiggle it around and see if it works/dosent work in certain positions, these are the 2 easiest things to do, the next thing is the hazard switch, the indicators work off the hazard switch in some cars, so check it out also. |

now it sounds like a short between the brake light wirign and indicator wiring.
For the price, just replace the flasher unit they're not that dear. |

Check all fuses. I had that problem the other day becasue I was mucking around with the blinker relay and fuses. A fuse may have just dislodged itself. Check ignition fuse and starter fuse.
Electrical stuff can be so annoying. |

it just winds over, but really slowly, no clicking or anything.. I jump started it took it home, went to turn it over an hour later, just wound over really slowly, and got slower..
Im thinking the blinker problem is the flasher unit and a short at the tail lights, Might try to clean the earth wire up a bit??
Can't see why she is draining the battery now though.. Could it be the short??
