Ok, so I finally got all my HIDs in my car.
HID on Fogs with a harness
HID on Hi-Beams with harness
HID on Low-Beams with harness and capacitor to enable DRL
Now, this ALL works fine. No issues...
The issue now is that when I press my brake pedal here is what happens:
When lights are on or on on Auto - The cluster guage and interior red lights turn off
When lights are OFF - Nothing happens
When brake is pressed, the brightness is not noticable from my taillights
When car is off, without key in the ignition, lights are on off position and door open. When I press the brake pedal the cars makes the "dingy" noise as if you have forgotten to turn your lights off...
If I put my car in the garage in the dark so the AUTO puts the lights on, it seems to do nothing and work fine, but the brake lights are still very dim when pedal is pressed.
I noticed it driving home in the daylight with AUTO activated. Cluster guage where the red lights are on for the tach and speedometer turn off completly when ever I slowed down for stoplights and used the brake.
So essentially... pressing my brake pedal is engaging a signal to turn something on and it's not my brake lights. It's almost like pressing the brake engages something that would be switched on or off from my lighting control arm.
Any ideas?
I'm at work now, but when I get home going to try pulling the fuses one by one for fogs, highs and lows to see if that stops the problem and maybe isolate the issue.
Just looking for suggestions now...
I had all the install done by a local guy who deals HIDs and installs them, but of course he claims he did nothing wrong or touched anything and the headlights work so that's all he was supposed to do. He's throwing stuff around like it's my lighting control is messed up, or to take it to the dealer for a computer test.
Any help would be awesome! I can't be driving around at night time without brake lights lol! :bang
Thanks, you've all so far been a great help with a newbie Mazda owner! :D
