Hopefully the vid works.
I seriously don't know where to start.

So dash lights come on when you select reverse with key off? Sounds more like a short behind the dash. The reverse signal comes back through the dash so I'd start there. The aux light you have on the back did that have a accessory feed to it or was it a hard airways on feed

Only when the aux light switch is switched to on, then I select reverse, the dash lights come on and the intercooler fan will come on. Aux light switch is off, all is good.

The aux light has its own power supply and on a separate relay mounted in the passenger side foot well.
The Intercooler fan's relay is mounted in the OEM relay box in the engine bay.

Along time ago I rewired this entire relay box to house other relays that were strewn all throughout the engine bay. To be honest I'm not sure how long this issue has been here, as one would rarely hit reverse and flick that switch while the car is off. If you get what I mean.
Im thinking its something in that relay box that I've wired incorrectly. But I don't really know. Just guessing. I'll check what I'm capable of doing...
I might even just hand the car over to a local auto elec, this might be beyond me.
Thanks.

This may seem silly but how big is the earth in question? If you have 100 amps going in, you must let it back out...
It would act like a dodgy earth but may be too small of an earth.

Each relay is individually earthed so dunno.

Found this on Youtube for the buzzing relay.

It may have been doing this since the new alternator about three years ago?? Haven't noticed it though.

So the buzzing relay issue is sorted. Kinda. I can confirm that its the newísh alternator doing this. Must have been doing it from the start and that I've never really noticed it. How did I know this. Unplugging the alternator and starting the car = no noise.
So back to the issue at hand. I want to go back to the start to check over the wiring connections there.
The way it was supposed to be setup is, the aux light comes on when I select reverse, but I can also remotely switch the aux light on via the Carling switch in the centre console. i just need to double check that what is there is right or wrong, before I start to look elsewhere. @MudRunnerTD Pretty sure, many moons ago you assisted with this, sometime, somewhere on this here forum...

Lecky gremlin sorted, finally got the Redarc ambient temp sensors in and working.
Patrol is fueled up and packed. Ready to launch at 4am tomorrow for a much awaited trip to Merimbula. The last two years were thwarted by fires and then border lockouts.
Can’t bloody wait!
