On the drive home the dash lights would only light up when I hit the brakes. The idiot had placed the dual filament bulb in the single filament bulb housing and the single filament bulb in the dual filament bulb housing in the taillights. I figured it out once I got home. Once something that is supposed to be grounded isn't, the voltage can travel back up the wire till it finds something that is grounded.
Yeah, I've seen stuff like that too, but in this case, I've had these lights in place for months and the issue just started happening this week. The bulb is definitely dead. Does it sound right that a dead bulb would cause grounding or other wiring issues?
