Today's Quiz
Greetings Men,
Pottering about this evening, thought I'd check the lights on the monster(thats the car, not the wife!)
Switch on the side lights and the brake lights came on with them.
mmmmmm ............strange.
So I took the cover of the pedal box and took the feed to the brake lights off the switch
and the brake lights stayed on, without any electricty!!!!!
I found the cause, but can you guess?
Clue: it involves the tyres!
*twilight zone theme*
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

dunno how tyres come into it, but usually weird $hit with back lights is due to a dodgy earth.

CONROD WINS!!!!!!!!!
Yes chaps check that your wiring to the back light clusters is tucked well out of the way of the tyres, the whole lot had the insulation rubbed off
them - bugger!
