Under what conditions? Randomly? Only when a switch is operated? Which switch? What car?

Beware rooting around an old motor lol. I started looking for the cause of the same fault and found a stinky swimming pool, woodlice, moody wiring mods and rust lol. THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PROJECT CAR!!
