My OBC backlight flickers (goes dim) whenever I use my indicators, wipers or brakes. As is goes from bright to dim everytime the wipers move or indicators flash.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Can anyone help me stop this happening?
Cheers

Gotta be a bad earth somewhere.
At a guess, as its common between them, check the battery to chassis is making a good clean contact?

There's a couple of ground points on the steering columb and one above the glovebox.
There is NO nucleus.

Take the steering wheel off and remove the cowling and you should see two at the top of the columb.
I think there may be another one up by the ECU, not sure.
