Signal right hazards come on!!…
So today I thought it was odd why both my signal lights are coming on in the front cars reflection when hitting the indicator to turn right!
Signal left all working fine but right both indicators come on, not sure if it’s at the back as well or just front repeaters.
I’ve noticed the indicator light on the dash is also very dim when signalling right (when both indicators decide to come on) opposed to signalling left all correct the dash Indicator light is very bright!

Not sure how to tackle this one :/ [/u]

Indicator signal goes through hazard switch. I would be pulling that as first port of call and testing it. Cheers

Ive recently just put one of the new metal switch panels on, I'll double check there's no touching wires/loose connections.

Ground stud likely loose or dirty, especially check the one on the RHS of the transfer box for the rear lighting loom.
The two rear indicators have tow separate ground ring terminals on there. Twice I have had that stud come loose.
On my last fix I used low strength Loctite A small amount on the thread and then tortured as I seemed to come loose despite being tortured correctly.

Usually these things are grounding related, you can also stick a multimeter on the ground terminals of the indicators with them turned off and run a continuity check with it. If you get a high reading you’ve got a poor ground, both should read around the same as close to zero Ohm as possible is a good reading.

Poor grounds can cause all sorts of weird issues, including lighting up random contours or entire dash.

It could be something else but it’s a really common thing, and caused by vibration and harsh conditions Defenders are subject to. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

Thanks dude will do.
I have a loose ground at the moment but all was fine so maybe a knock on issue of this.

All sorted turned out to be a dodgy orange bulb in the wing side repeator. Cool
