69' GTO Instrument Lights On w/ Brakes ...
hi friends,
when I depress brake pedal my dash lights come on. I was really careful assembling dash and have good grounds at gauges and at tail lights. tail light sockets are all clean. new MH dash harness was installed btw. blinkers/hazards work fine until I turn on parking lights .. then they kinda just stay ON. thanks! mike Last edited by RAIIIJudge; 09-09-2023 at 06:02 PM. |

So by "dash lights" you mean the gauge backlights?
Does this happen with the engine off, key out of the ignition? Did it ever operate properly with the new harness installed?

yes, gauge backlights light when brake pedal depressed.
happens even w/ key out if hazards are on, flashing normally ... when I depress brake pedal, hazard's light up solid, no flashing problem has been present since dash went in, yes thanks for the help, mike |

Do they flash with hazard's?
Do they flash with left AND right turn? If yes to any of the above.. Remove tail/stop bulbs or unplug the tail light harness and see if things change. Really sounds like current is feeding back through a tail/stop bulb. Only takes one for this to happen. Quote:
