hello all again
now when i turn the left indicator on it makes the rear light flash also
but when i put the hazards on it stops it doing that and goes back to normal. this happened since i had a boot leak and check t see where it was when i took the rear cluster off it had water in the cluster so changed the bulb holding thing for the right hand side one i think it may have corroded the wire connections to that cluster is there a way of taking the wiring out of the black connector and clening them up. cheers in advance

yes they can come out, fold the back down and have a look, to remove the seperate terminal ou need a small screwdriver to lever the tag up and out.

sounds like an earth fault to me, what car is it?
