At
Easter we travelled from Trans Australia Railway Line at
Rawlinna through Balgair and Arubiddy Stations (with owners permission) to Cocklebiddy. This was some of the roughest, most corrigated tracks we have been on. In
places worse than
Cape York !!
Part way through the trip, all instruments reminder indicators and indicator lights started to flash (in sync with the corrigations - ie no corrigations no problems) There was NO loss of power or any other adverse effect.
My auto electrician could not find any faults apart from some blown globes. He could not locate any problems. While on city streets and "mildly" rough tracks the lights do not flash at all.
Last weekend we camped near
Bluff Knoll and on several really bad corrugations the same indicator light flashing happened again on several occasions.
Has anyone had a similar problem (Its almost like there is a loose connection on the instruments) Any suggestions welcomed.

Trekkie,
Can't help you with your problem but I gotta tell you that strange bleep happens.
Before my trip to the
Corner Country last year, I had a minor problem where the little blue indicator light on the Air-conditioning button wouldn't come on when the Air-con was activated. The solution appeared hopeless, with a major dissection of the instrument panel required to get at the rear of the switch.
Well, whilst travelling along the corrugated road to
Coongie Lakes, with a bleep tered rear window and the engine
Check light coming on and staying on, I gutsed out and returned to our base at
Innamincka.
The next time I looked, the blue light was on when the Air-con was on and hasn't failed since. Only time I've known a fault to be shaken together again.
Bugger me!!!

Davoe,
Na Mate, It was the blue indicator in the centre of the Air-con press button switch. Was probably a loose globe but it aint loose anymore:-)
