Help... electrical gremlins.. lighting

Recommended Posts

Okay guys, I'd been blessed with a corrado that didn't bother having any electrical problems, untill last night.

So I was installing my DDI gauges and fillally got them all together and put everything back in and turned them on. Great, they light up beautifully.

 

the problem is, it seems that somehow I've reversed my brake lights with my parking lights.

 

This means of course that when I turn my lights on, my brake lights come on, center light included, and when the switch is off, and I hit the brake, my headlights turn on.

 

HELP, my inspection is due at the end of the month and this will fail it. Does any one have any idea how this can happen, I snipped no wires and when I disconnect the guages from the light switch it still does it so it's not the install of the gauges..

As it turns out, it was a wrong bulb in the taillight tray... single filliment instead of dual fillimant... thus, one contact point instead of two... the circuit for the whole car was being completed in the right taillight tray so that the brakes lights were wired into the same circuit as the parking lights.
