67 Imperial electrical issues

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I'd start by checking all fuses. I've had strange lighting situations with a blown fuse in a 63. I would also check for pinched wires to tail lights & any wires near the brake pedal. Have you recently replaced any bulbs? If yes, are you sure they are the correct type? Is the turn signal switch a generic replacement or Mopar & is it wired correctly?

Subject: IML: 67 Imperial electrical issues

After spending a fortune on restoring, stripping, rechroming all birte work--repainting., AND replaced turn signal switch on my car---signals, brake lights ---all electrical worked fine!

I have had all the wood on the dash and panels professionally redone----

Here is now the problem----(driving me and my mechanic crazy!!)

When you step on the brakes ---dash lights and running lights and turn signal fender lights up!

Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before!

I am visiting my mechanic again tomorrow---he is thinking there is some sort of grounding problem some where!

Initially., he thought it may be a faulty turn signal switch---however----when the car is off and you depress the brakes., that is when the dash and running lights illuminate

 

ANYONE!?

THANKYOU
