Outer Limits 4x4 Board

This is my latest saga....

When i put my foot on the break, the dash and radio lights fade....
Then at cruizer i was just told that my break lights are constantly on.
Also when the car is turned off and i put my foot on the break, the parkers come on and the dash lights etc.

ummm..... where do i start to look?
its a jeep... and no, i dont always understand.

what year is the jeep?

prob look at why the brake lights are always on first once this is sorted you will prob find that other things will be sorted

first of all is it your brake lights or is it your rear lights that are on?

if it is your brake lights work backwards from the brake lights
make sure the rear lights are being grounded well enough then go to the brake switch which located on the brake pedal make sure that is switching as it should you may find that the switch is rooted but yeah just make sure there is power on the right side of the switch etc

well you get the drift

definately a grounding fault have had same problem before found taillight and brakelights earthing through front blinkers. very trippy...

another thing to keep in mind is that hairy wires, or wires crossing paths in your trailer plug can make brakes come on also when depressing the brake can make the park curcit come on
just a thought,, may have had a knock.....

My guess: somehow, the normal earth for your dash and parkers has failed, so they're earthing through the brake light filaments and causing them to appear on. When you apply brakes the other lights can't earth properly, so they fade. Remove your brake light bulbs and see if you can get the rest of your lights to work.

hi were any new accesories fitted before the problems started (uhf , cd) definatly sound like some sort of earth problem.
