|
|
I just had a new 1915cc engine installed and now some lighting problems.
1. When I put on a turn signal, the reverse lights blink?
2. When I put the shifter in reverse, the red brake light/seat belt indictor light on dash come on?
3. When I have driving lights on and flick left turn signal, the front drivers signal doesn't blink, and the rear drivers tail light blinks, but from the reverse bulbs?.
What do I do?

you have circuits "leaking" into one another. the rear lights connectors are on the sides of the engine bay: you have to use the wiring diagram for your MY to check if they got messed up. also, check your grounds and the reverse light connection at the gearbox. _________________ cars:

See if any of the ground connections got knocked loose beside the engine. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.
