Astra - Indicator & Brake Light Fault - Problem Found & Fixed - How To DIY

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

This was a very simple find and fix on this vehicle but I have found out additional information for my viewers that may help you. This fault is quite common to these models of Astra's. *Check connector for terminal tension / damage *Check wiring for heat damage / high resistance heat fault This is a common practice with any auto electrical damaged components including headlight assemblies but on these models wiring looms may need repair also. If there is excessive damage on the wires or at the connector you will need to repair that as well. I have in the past sourced connectors and wiring from scrap / wrecking / junk yards. You can also buy wiring kits for a complete repair if needed. After any repair check powers and grounds at the connector for confirmation of a successful repair.

I had an issue with my brakelight on my astra. I watched your video and went and had a look, but it wasn't the same issue, but I think an issue with the wiring - however I have somehow fixed it, and without your video I wouldn't of bothered trying so thanks!

Hiya mate im haveing that exsact problem to a T how do you go about chabging the 3 pins please ?

[@brettb22]

Hi, Great video! i have the same issue, middle pin is broken but i can't see the broken piece anywhere.. can i just plug in a replacement? Also where are you buying the replacement from please just want to get a decent price for one! Thanks

[@KeithDoherty]

Can you remember how much the fitting is - Starting to get "Check Brake Lights" warning now and again myself.

[@etheldir128]

This is brilliant thanks! Something strange happened with mine though: it has the scorch mark and the shortened pin in the middle, so I put it back together and was going to order the part. But then I tested the car again and now both bulbs are working! It will likely stop working again soon but do you think it's safe to use in the meantime? I think surely the worst that could happen is the bulbs stop working again, at which point I can buy a replacement.

Has the same problem we change this parts, is it working outside but dashboard still showing failure and with the same sound

Great help this exact thing happened to me. Two days later the driver side rear has done the same ! Rinse and repeat 😂 Can anyone tell me why this has happened ?

Fab stuff just sorting my uncies . On pulling the plug i said thers signs of arcing plus im sure there shouid be 3 pins. There were 2 . All makes sense £44 for a cluster new ..job dond

Connector ?

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

The connector is where the wires push into. You would either de-pin the connector or replace it completely if you have wiring or terminal related faults. If the connector is not melted and it's reusable you can do whichever you prefer.
