Front signals come on with brakes
On my 65 GTO my front parking lights come on when I use my brakes. I have new wiring harnesses at both front and rear. My signals have problems as well. I plan on installing a new wiring harness under the dash this winter when I restore my dash and Steering wheel. One thing I know I'm missing is the signal flasher can under the dash. Anyone have any ideas on why my front lights come on with my brakes?

make sure your not using single filament bulbs.....they will enervate your front parking lites when you brake.......

Check all your bulbs, it is possible for a dual filament bulb to break and part of the broken filament to contact the other filament and cause feed back.

Right on target 302;
When I went to work at the local chevy dealership, that was the first thing I had to deal with,Some of the guys had shorted out bulbs and they put one in one of the cars off the lot and made sure I drew that job,took me two days to find that %$%^&^% bulb(on a sugg. from a friend) now I keep one in my tool box.lol. Oh, and I also keep a loaded condenser,ZAP. It`s called a ground feed back Good luck; Troy;

Long time ago when I first started as a mechanic at the local Chevy dealership this happened to me. I drew a ticket on a 75 Chevelle with an engine noise. The ticket identified the car as a maroon Chevelle 2dr. My luck there was two on the lot that fit that description. Without looking at the tag number I plopped myself in the drivers seat and cranked it up. It didn't want to start, but eventually did and was running horribly. I put it in gear and it died. Tried to restart it, but it was a no go. Jumped out and raised the hood and was floored by what I saw. One head on the small block was gone, one side of the intake open to the air, distributor still in place, plug wires hanging out in the open. If I hadnt't seen it myself I would have bet an engine would not run in that condition.

Cool! Thanks for the replies guys! I never would have thought about checking for a bad or wrong bulb. I was thinking more along the lines of a crossed wire.
troy-curt - Sometimes the guys at work really know how to bust 'em off ehh?!:laugh: Vince - LOL! That's a funny story! :laugh:
