Hi all,
I have a issue with my wifes AU..the rear drivers side Blinker stops working..front and Guard blinker is ok but rear is a no...From inside the blinker (right turn) flashes very quick and this indicates that the rear dosent work ... If i bang the side of the rear light , the blinker starts working again for a while, then it happens again..Bulb is ok and wiring looks ok...just not sure what to look for next.. Anyone else had this issue

I highly doubt your bulb is ok. I think you'll find the fillament is slightly broken and when you bang it it reconnects, this is a very common bulb phenomenon. Change your drivers side rear bulb with your passengers side one (if you don't have a spare) and see if the problem changes sides.
Other than that you might be up for a new wiring harness, they're not too expensive and you can fit them yourself. But my money is on bulb.

Yeah change the bulb and see how it goes.
It may be a poor contact too. The socket might have a bit of corrosion in it. |

LOL yeah be careful when you 'bang' it, sometimes if you bang it too hard, instead of fixing it, it breaks it completely!!!
Let us know how you get on!!!
