    I recently installed a challenge grille for my 360 Spider. Connectors were removed from tail lights and were re-fitted after grille was installed. All functioning correctly, indicators, reverse etc.. all working as they should.
    Problem is now when ever I put my foot on the brake pedal the indicator light on my dash buzzes and makes a chirping sound, occasionally hazard warning light appears briefly on dash and indicator tick sound comes on and off intermittently and at times ticks from under passenger side dash area

    Anyone now what's going on here Have checked all plugs which is all that was touched electrically in the installation

    Which indicator light -- the one for turn signal? How is your battery -- Ferraris are known to be touchy about voltage. Try turning off and the battery (switch in luggage compartment) then on again after about five minutes and putting the car on a tender overnight and try again.

    This sounds like a bad ground connection with one of the brake lights.

    Unless you didn't fully insert the electrical plugs for the lights (unlikely as there is an audible click) I doubt it's a ground so try the battery thing first.
