If so, you may have the same problem I had when I first hooked up the harness in Ian's car. There are two wires that go to the brake light switch: a (17) green and a (22) green with purple. The factory also saw fit to use a (22) green with purple to power the heater motor switch. Both of these wires come together rather close together in the under dash harness roughly behind the fuel gauge. There are three (22) green/purple circuits that come off of the A4 terminal on the fuse block: 1) goes to a double connector that feeds the heater motor switch then the B terminal of the petrol and the water temp gauge, 2) feeds the stop lamp switch then the reverse lamp switch and 3) feeds power to the turn signal switch (up the famous stator tube) and through another double connector feeds the turn signal flasher.<div><br></div><div>I found that I had #1 and #2 switched - once I figured this out it took about 1 minute to set things right...</div><div><br></div><div>Steve H.</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><div>On Jan 6, 2014, at 2:06 PM, "Paul Barrow" <<a href="mailto:paul.barrow@centurytel.net">paul.barrow@centurytel.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">
