    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

    Mr Watson,you'll possibly get a better response if you filled some of your profile in.
    Such as,which state you are from so,if necessary,you can take the car to someone,either on here..who has the knowledge,or to someone recommended by someone here..this,of course.being that you can't fix it yourself..:)

    you probably have a direct short somewhere. Check all the earth wires for the various lights that were involved in the grille swap. Check that none of the active wires are accidentally attached to an earth wire.

    A bit of a thread hijack, but can anyone recommend an auto-electrician within 30km of Sydney CBD.
    My 360 keeps popping the RH headlight fuse....

    Thanks

    Finally found the problem

    1 pin in the plug had a tiny bend in it and was arcing across to the other pins

    Thanks
