Title: Brakes turn on blinkers
Post by: Bryan on September 02, 2016, 11:33:49 AM
Hey guys. When I hit brake lights, my right turn signals turn on and become the brake lights? Any ideas?

Does only the rear directional turn on?  Do you mean that it is steady on or blinking?  Does the brake light turn on also? Are the directionals and brakes on the same bulb".  Do the directionals otherwise work as they should without causing the brake lights to glow a bit?

Anyway, check/clean grounds to start.

Most likely a bad ground or if a dual filament bulb, the broken filament is outing over the good one. This is assuming it worked correctly before.

Well I found the issue, disconnected the backup alarm and it fixed everything. Must have been a bad connection in there.

Since you own two different make and model buses, it would make things a whole lot easier on us trying to help you if you'd let us know which coach you're talking about!

FWIW & HTH. . .

He ever talks about on here anymore is his Prevost. So I automatically assume that's the coach he's discussing lol
