Hi Guys,
Sorry to be the bloke that joins up and asks a question straight away, but I’m desperate and at my wits end.
I removed the tub and installed an aluminium tray. I went through and figured out the wiring for the new tail lights compared to the tub lights. I left the rear bar in with sensors to keep the reverse sensor functions.
When the lights are plugged in as per normal I get ghosting on the unused bulbs and flashing of the tail light when blinker and lights are on. It also gives me a ASTC and FCM unavailable on the dash board. My first thought is earthing. I’m not able to find any issues with earthing so I run a cable from the rear light earth to the chassis. All ghosting is gone and lights work well, however, I put it into reverse and the 7.5amp fuse on the passenger kick blows which gives me transmission errors and a bunch of other codes.
I’m at an absolute lose as to why I can’t get this to work.
These are incadescent 21w globes, just your typical Narva set up.
I’ve got a trip to SA at the end of the week, so obviously a auto elec might have to come to the rescue but I’m cutting it very fine to get that sorted.
