savage switch digi dash
hope someone might be able to help me out with the handbrake warning light.
i think ive got a bad earth as the savage warning light glows when handbrake is off its only started doing this since ive just fitted the digi dash
lite.
ive got a brown wire from the digi dash says connect to handrake/resorv negetive -ve input ,tested this wire with multimeter reads 10.5v
at the savage lamp its got two terminals ones got ign live reads 11.5v when i read the output (neg) side says 6.5v (i think it should read zero as
this is the earth side .any ideas
thanks simon

Does the digi dash also have a warning light?
sounds like youve only got 5V across your warning lamp when it should have the full 12.
If the dash has one and you connect this they will be sharing the voltage(the one on the dash will also be dim if this is the case)
If this is this case try disconnecting the wire on the digi dash that goes to the switch and see if this solves the problem

they both light up fine when i pull up the handbrake but when released the digi dash light goes out ok but the savage on still slightly glows.
if i disconnect the dark brown wire from digi dash the problem goes away apart from the warning light on digi dash wont work as its dissconected

sorry i misread your original post, i read it as it glows when the handbrake is on.
Sounds strange that it glows when its off but goes away if you disconnect the digi dash, is the digidash meant to work with an external light aswell?
it could be something in its wiring which is causing it
