Default Earthing point for indicators?

Hi all,

My indicators have a slight earth connection issue. When i put them on, there too fast this always seem to be a bad earth.

Can someone point out all the earthing points for the lighting system on a classic 1995 wagon / impreza please?

Cheers

More than checking the lights work. check the right bulbs are fitted. If you have a bulb fitted with the wrong ressistance(wattage) it will also cause problems

Well Im sure its a little more than that, purely because I killed a battery today. Car just cut out in motion, then was dead as a dodo. Car wouldnt turn or anything. I had an emergency battery luckily and it fired up instantly :/

I think maybe my rear fog light wire is out of the light bracket. Would this cause the problem?

Well yoi could have a contant dead short from the fog wiring. But if so that wire would burn out very quickly. If the battery has died then there must at a minimum be a problem with the cars charging system. Do you have a multi metre?
