[Jim Carlow]

Have problem with rear lights on my 2002 omega. driving me nuts. I am a plumber not a sparky . dont want to blow fuses etc. Any advice greatly appreciated.. JIm.
Looks a great forum, hope I can get round it ok , lol

What problem?

 

[Jim Carlow]

short I think on the rev lights, jeep also has diminished light when caravan connected. and in reverse. Have diagram but colours not quite the same. Renewed bulbs that were duff, cleaned high level connections too. (that works now). Caravan has the 12 /12s connector fitted.

Sounds like a broken earth lead to me, or a short to earth, but you have already got the best man for the job in Damian.

As I mentioned I'm plumber not a sparky..lol
Some things are beyond me I'm afraid. I tend to have a lot going on all at once, various trips to doc and hosp so things get a little drawn out unfortunately.

Your van is 19 years old and time has a detrimental effect on most things.
Your description points to corrosion on some part or parts of the wiring , probably the 7 pin plugs most likely if they are original fitment.

If you are not confident to rewire the plugs a caravan engineer is where you need to be looking, or a decent auto electrician.

They are easy enough to change for new ones if you take careful notes of which wires go where, if the metal wires to each connection are black, which I expect they are, then the lead needs cutting back to get to clean wires and new plugs fitted.

The other places to check are the lights themselves and clean each spade connector , which are probably heavily contaminated by now.
