Drilling holes in the turn signal will allow the blinker fluid to run out. Drain it every other day or so into a gallon jug and sell it.

This is weird. If the problem was just when you put the turn signal on that would be easy. The brake causing the same thing to happen has me confused. My first thought is a loose wire under the dash that is getting moved just enough to cause an electrical arc.

 

Very interesting theory, AK... perhaps this weekend i will do some investigating under the dash for loose wires, and will keep this post goin with my findings. Oh, and after my upcoming plugs and wires swap ill post here with results if any in this matter.
thanks for the genuine input AK, man, i know its weird, thats why i just had to post it on here, its got me perplexed!

 

Turn signals my azz...why O why are you using your brakes...not only does the use of brakes strip precious mpg's from your Rover...using them also drains your personnel strength and causes one to develop Single Brake Leg Syndrome (the non-braking leg is underdeveloped from well...not braking) and adds to driver fatigue. Stay Awake, Stay Healthy, and by all means Stay the hell Away from the Brakes.

 

That is hilarious.

 

but doesnt help, really. ive been investigating a few ideas, and after trying to locate bad wires ive decided it could be a bad ground some where that i cant locate yet.
any body have discovery 2 wiring diagrams by any chance? mines a 99
oh and ive noticed that the whole thing stops when i turn the headlights on, nothing flashes, only when theyre off do i see flashy radio, clock, trailer light on the dash, shifter lights... it goes on, would like to remedy this

 

Problem Solved! So it was the AfterMarket Trailer Wiring harness. Took it out and now nothing blinks inside the truck!

 

put on some techno music and enjoy the light show hahaha

 

Just glad its fixed... cuz a left turn signal before i pulled that wiring also made a bunch of lights in the back light up, like i had my hazards on.... im tellin ya, it was drivin me nuts...

 

yea glad you found your problem, if wires get crossed up electronics do crazy things.

 

wasnt crossed up wires, it was the wiring harness for the trailer, which quit on me and was messing up my interior lights making them blink when i hit the left directional signal.
the wiring kit was installed on the driver side, which was kind of dumb because on the passenger side theres a plug already there to hook into. damn previous owners.
