GU Parker lights come on when brake is pressed..

Post by simcoe »

hi guy's
me again,on my way to work this morn and i thought that i put my parker lights on(which i didn't) cos my speedo etc was lighting up randomly but i realised that everytime i pushed the brake the parkers come on..

i assume there's a short somewhere..?
i'v checked the fuses and there all good!
is there somewhere where i should start looking??

thanks

My sister once tried changing her rear brake light but somehow managed to jam the bulb in the wrong way and it had the same effect...

well found the prob..!
i pulled all the rear brake lights out(upper 1 and lower 2)
and found that the upper brake bulb is 21w 12v and the lower ones are 21w 5v..i didnt really bother checking when i put them in :oops:
anyway now with the correct 5v bulbs it's all good again!

cheers for the tips guys!
