hey guys,
ill explain this best i can.
my reverse light in dash comes on as well as my both indicator lights when i put my foot down on brake, when this happens, my reverse lights on back come on and i also cannot indicate.
my guess its an earth problem somewhere but where??
anyone else had this issue?

lol, i had some funky stuff happening recently when a fuse was blown.... my roof light would come on when i put headlights on.
I'd first check all your fuses in the engine bay, actually take them out and use multimeter on em all. I also used the oportunity to rub each of them on sandpaper to get rid of some gunk that was on them.
OIn a previous VL i had, the brake lights were a mess, and i ended up running a star type wiring because they piggyback off each other from factory, and some can crack on the rings and screws things up.
This may be totally irrelevant to your problem, as theres the reverse switch and brake switch might be causing yours trouble... but guess its a good starting position.
Also, check both indicator flasher relays up under the dash.

x2 start with fuses
The brake switch obviously works
Check all your brake lights are coming on, it sounds like something may be wrong with the brake lights and current is going elsewhere
Mine did all sorts of weird things, I found 2 bulb sockets were corroded so I replaced those and grounded the tail light loom in the boot area
Everything actually worked perfectly after that, almost unheard of for a VL haha

Thanks guys, I think I have fixed the issue, i think it was the wiring loom in the boot, unplugged it and sprayed it and then worked.
