    Default weird problems ae86 4agte

    Hey guys ive got a weird problem going on with my brakes , Every time i hit the break my right hand blinker comes on the dash and the exterior lights- it doesnt flash but just stays on...
    Its very frustrating at night time when braking and the right hand light comes on when tapping the brakes and cancells out any other blinker operation whilst brake pedal is pushed in..
    Its only recently happened since i did a w58 conversion on my car !!!

    Any Ideas if this is related or some other problem with an earth or something ?

    does that side indicator turn on like the outside globes, did you connect your reverse lights and where did you splice into the wires for the reverse lights
    it would be a bad earth anyway

    i thought it mite have been a simple wiring prob but if you havent touched it theres proly nothing wrong with it.
    maybe its a crimpt wire from above the bellhousing.

    Check all your globes too - I've had my dash and driving lights turn on with the brake pedal because the double filament taillight globes had blown and were touching the other filament, backfeeding through that circuit as well.

    There seems to be a short somewhere.. Where the brake line and right hand blinker power is touching.. So hard to find ive wingled and trace most of it.. Any ideas to make it easier to find the short ?

    Check the earth for your tail lights & get back to us.

    Check fuses

    Did you touch anything inside the car when doing the diff & gearbox?
    Maybe you've damaged a loom when removing the centre console?

    you've borked the earth for the indicator and park light circuits that feed to the dash - you've probably connected it to a 12V supply instead of earth.

    re-trace/do all the wiring changes you made.

    Look at the alarm side of things.
    Some alarms hook in to the brake light switch. ( to trigger if the pedal is pressed )
    This could explain the hazard / indicator / brake lights & also the dash lights.

    Just a thought
