Headlights

Post by smokey »

I've noticed that every now and again the headlights come on when I break, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

My guesses would be:

COMM 2000 problem

Wrong brake lamp bulb in place

Short/damp/dirt in rear lamp cluster.

Thanks, I will take a look tomorrow. Would it be both rear light clusters?

Not necessarily. What happens sometimes is that when folk change a bulb in the rear cluster they don't always get the light unit seal back in exactly in the right place. That lets the wet in and then problems can occur.
