I wish I could help but my wiring ability is so good that with my Dodge WC
52 I couldn't understand why people were constantly flashing their lights at
me - then after 2 years found out - my home spun loom was more than a bit
iffy - every I braked the headlights came on......
I have never touched a wiring loom since.

Subject: Re: [MV] M35 lighting help
Absolutely correct. If there is a bad ground, electricity will backfeed
through circuits and do all kinds of wierd things. A couple of years
ago I bought a brand new Ford Expedition for my EX wife (we were
married at the time) and I noticed one night that the turn signals
were doing wierd things. Well, through past experience I tracked it
to a faulty ground. It was never even hooked up at the factory! A
loose ground wire. It was just hanging there. I could see exactly
where it was supposed to be grounded to, so I just ran a screw into
it, and it worked perfectly.
