Re: lighting	Sign In

It's possible as Dmac suggested.

If you have a wiring diagram of the circuit you may also want to check your grounds on this circuit. Sometimes when other lights or indicators light up when they aren't suppose its a sign of a bad ground. The 1st circuit is grounding thru the other one due to a bad ground and this will cause the lights on the 2nd circuit to turn on.......

Hey Dmac......long time no see...........what cya been up to???

Re: lighting	Sign In

I think I asked elsewhere on this ---- Does this have trailer wiring as I recall you said it had amber directionals in the rear so that needs a funky device for standard trailers which could be the trouble,

Re: lighting	Sign In

Fine that it's tied but that is a open opportunity for this kind of screw up especially if aftermarket or if there are extra connections to interpret amber directionals on vehicle with red brake lights to just plain red dim and red bright for most trailer's lighting.

There's a lot of connections and junk that can get in there even if factory it's a trouble spot,
