Hi All I have a 1991 Verada V6 auto which seems to be flashing some sort of Error code. I does it with the engine running and when in park, after a while it stops but then starts again when it is put back into park, the flash is also affected when you put your foot on the brakes, sounds real strange I know but if anyone has any ideas please let me know, I would really appreciate it. I brought the car real cheap and want to fix it up.:facejump:

It doesnt give me a number, it is just the indicator flashing for around 2-3 minutes while I was driving and then stopped, when I put it in park at my house it started flashing again until I turned the motor off. The car was supposed to have a bodgy trans but seems to drive ok doing 80kms/phr at 2400rpm

Hmmm . . . sounds like a short somewhere.

My Jaguar used to do a similiar thing. When I pressed the horn the blinkers flashed. When I turned the headlights on the window washers squirted lol

It was found to be a bad Earth connection

what indicator is flashing? is it the green turn indicators on the gauge cluster or a red indicator? like check engine, or (!), or oil pressure or Battery..
