My VN is well different. LOL When i put my foot on the break the drivers side headlight comes on as do my dash lights that dont work when the lights are actually turned on. Also my rear lights dont work aswell, but the break lights and reverse lights work. Any ideas?
unless you any good with a multi metre , I'd get a auto elecy out and get them to go over it, but from the sounds of it you either have old crappy wiring or there is a point there that is earthing out... with things like this I find getting the mobile elecy out, he will sort it in half a hr and then get him to show you what it was exactly... usualy about $50 for a bit of wiring work....
check the globes and globe holders in the tail lights....i have herd off these rusting (common) and earthing badly causing the head lights to come on when you put foot on break ........other then that as trizo said....best to leave it to some one thats good with a multi meter
