Why does left indicator stop while reversing left on a M reg Punto?

Answer 1

u may need to clean up the contacts in the rear light assembly, if htey get water in they tend to corrode and produce a bad earth - my M reg did it but the indicator slowed down ticking as i braked lol. 1. open the boot, feel round the side (behind the rear light assembly) you should feeel 2 bolt heads. 2. remove these. withdraw the light assembly and disconnect the wiring using the clip that attaches it. 3. open up the assembly by removing all the screws round the edges, the light pack should come off an you will see bare bulbs. 4. take out the bulds with a slight twist an look at the bulb holder, if it looks grimey/rusty/off colour then use some sandpaper/aluminium oxide paper to remove the dirt. 5. do all the bulbs an check the metal plates for corrosion. check the wires on the little white box you removed in step 2, to see if they are loose. once cleaned - put it all back together. 6. check the light assembly cover for holes in the plastic, as water getting in to the assembly is a big cause of this type of problem. if you have any holes then getting sum Duct Tape or sumthing similar will seal them - or go to a scrappers an get a new box - dont pay anymore than £10 for the whole package tho!! hope this helps
