What have I done????

Post by CBA » 07 Aug 2011 04:58 pm

Ok, I've messed something up.

Sidelights (front sidelights) come on when I press the brakes.

If I turn headlights onto 1 or 2 there's no problem, headlights only flash with brakelights when headlight switch is set to zero.

Rear clusters haven't been touched, and I haven't welded through the loom at any point.

any Ideas, It's driving me nuts.

That'll be a bad earth somewhere.. they do freaky weird things like thet.

Best to check any wires that terminate on the bodywork for signs of rust or oxidising
Trundle returns... Watch this space ;)

Yup, what TJ said. It'll most likely be an earth problem, usually with the rear lights, but yours is different. :lol:

its really annoying me, I smoked a J' - sat and thought for a good hour.. still stumped.
I reckon I've fried an earth with the welding.

unfortunately, pressing brakes, looking at the headlights and messing with earths is a three man job. :(
