possibly a bad earth on the actual light unit??

[dexterwest]

I'd be going with a bad earth too, especially as the affected lamp is dimmer than the others. Are we talking about the right side front indicator here? If we are, then from memory the lamp itself earth's through a wire that connects into a the loom via a bullet connector under the bonnet slam panel/ behind the grille. Check this connection as they are notorious for corroding due to their location (i.e where they get covered in rain water, salt and road grime etc.)

take all bulbs out of that side and clean all contacts, both front indicators earth through bullets along the front lom the earth then goes upto the bulkhead on the drivers side and earths through a 1/4 screw or set screw dependant on model/ modification. also check the hazard switch and make sure you have battery voltage at the top left terminal as you take it out the dash as the indicators run hrough the switch.
