SideLights on when Braking??

[Krim]

Just realised that when I hit the brake pedal my sidelights come on too, any ideas why? Earthing issue maybe??
Annoying as I'm constantly flashing people whenever I use the brakes.

Simon.

Yes you are probably right. if you have a poor earth it is going to find its own alternative route for the current, and in this event it seems to be thru your side lights.

Time to get the emery cloth out and see what you can find. Dont forget to check your fuses too, they can cause issues if they are old and corroded at all
