Weird lights on fault???

[easy]

A question, to the group.
Got a weird new fault, when the engine is not on, the bus lights turn off and on all round as normal. When I start the engine without the lights on, the rear lights come on??? Drivers side brighter than the passengers?? Any ideas? Sounds a bit weird earthy to me?

Hey you, I’m no expert as you know but my first thought was just that, maybe the ignition is now earthing through the back lights ? I’d look at box to body and that little tiny fucker inside the dissy. What’s it like if you just turn the ignition on without starting it?

Cheers dood, will be having a nose, im sure there is something lurking on the rear lights on the drivers side, will check all the connections and wiring later. I havent tried it with just the ignition on and not starting it yet, but i will try that tonight

It's weird for sure... Perhaps something is across the terminals on the light switch on the dash?

So at the weekend, i removed all of the wires to the rear lights, cleaned up the terminals and replaced any that didnt fit 100%, changed one earth wire and had a good clean up in general.

Put it all back together and... Bingo!! back in the game, all working fine!

Took the bus out for a cheeky 60 mile drive and all fine, no issues with electrics just a lovely cruise.

All ready for festivals now tahnks all for the hints n ideas
