Rear indicator gone

[alastairb]

Hi, 1st time poster :-)

My left rear indicator is on the blink, has anybody fitted the LED style bulbs in the standard housing or come up with a better refit/remove mechanism on the bulb cover (the handbook states remove silicone with craft knife, refit bult and re-apply silicone).

I can see it now, refit bulb, re-apply silicone, 1 day later - bulb out !
Or just re-bolt the cover and give it a couple of days before re-applying silicone?

Thanks for suggestions.

undo the 4 6-7 mm nuts leave 2 on just by a few threads and then you should just need to push and the housing will come away.leaving the nuts just on, will stop the cluster from dropping on the floor and damaging it!!!!!!!

Unscrew the bolts and the outer casing should drop out. Might be a good idea to clean the electrical connectors while you're at it as they sometimes corrode. I wouldn't bother sealing it right away,give it a day or so.

Yes i was looking forward to Noble ownership :-)

Thing is somebody nearly plowed into the back of me this morning so I need to take a look.
Strangly last night all rear lights where working, now I've got no indiator OR Brake on the left rear.
Where does the light loom earth ? Also I only have one nut on the back of the cluster, defo some silicone cutting to do, want to check the earth first as it would seem all the bulbs are working on the basis of last night.


Fun and games !

Check the connector on the wiring harness to the rear clam - it's on the left side, right above the rear diffuser. May be a bad connection, or a loose wire.

Jims right, you can unplug & plug to your hearts content but the pins can easily be pushed back in the plug/socket so make sure you check both halves thoroughly.

Got it sorted

The female plug holes had enlarged a little, prised them tight with a jewelers screwdriver and im back to 100% reliability!
