Ok I got a Queensland transport inspection tomorrow and now my electricals have decided to stuff up. All I have done is disconnect the indicators and parkers and reconnect them and now when I turn the parkers to on or press the brake pedal my high beam dashlight comes on and my clock goes off but neither my brake lights or parkers with work!! What on earth could be happening? I did reconnect my earth and parkers around the wrong way at first could this have shorted it out? Also my clock has reset and i didnt disconnect the battery...any ideas coz this is looking bad!!!

Best guess something has lost its earth and is earthing through your parking lights. The clock reset is probably because you disconnected its earth.

Do your normal low beams and high beams work OK?

The connectors you unplugged - is it possible for any one of them to be plugged in back to front?

Good luck,

Scott

Tow cabling.

I have had a similar problem in the past because I mashed my trailer lights bottoming out. Caused all sorts of crazy shit to happen as things shorted through each other, then seemed to re-route themselves everywhere (including radio and indicators).
