Thread: Discovery 1 rapid blinking signal lights

Hello from Canada . Recently purchased a 1998 Discovery 1 and am working out some issues on it .



One of the issues I am currently working on is that the signal lights blink rapidly, both sides. Front , rear and the side marker lights are good. Bumper lights on rear have broken connectors. I am not sure if not having bumper lights would cause this.

Four way flashers work as they should.

Trailer wiring has been spliced in, I am going to look to see if the factory rover plug is there , not sure why previous owner wouldn't have used it. Trailer harness goes.from five to four wire which I believe is correct , but wires were spliced in to the bumper lights and a brake wire from rear tail light assembly. I will try and look tomorrow why factory plug under the tailight isn't there or if it is there at all.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks a bunch

Thanks Sean!

I did wire up some extra lights and the blinking returned to a normal rate .

I managed to pick up a couple parts discoveries, or parts of them and got some new plugs that were corroded in the rear bumper turn lights. I think that should fix the issue!

I now have a couple rolling chassis, enough panels and fenders for three discoveries , and almost a 40 foot long sea can full of spare parts!

Now I just have to get brakes working good. They would barely slow it down in low range at an idle. Rotors are good and I am replacing the pads. They were quite worn . Hopefully the booster is ok, I should know this week.

Thanks again for the responses. I am new to land Rovers.
