1997 Pajero Short or Earthing issue

Hi Guys

I got myself a new old pajero and have a few issues to sort out .
It is a 3.5 dohc 1997 model .

My wife tried to get the car on the road yesterday and it failed due to the rear driving and inside (rooflight)light flashing in synch with the cars idling .

This is apparently due to a short somewhere ,any ideas of where i can start troubleshooting ?

The flashing is not profound as in on and off but rather muted pulsing in synch with the idling .When the car is not running the lights are normal .

Dankie manne

I recall something similar on my Gen3. In that case it was a blown fuse. I hope that helps?
