    Default VT break light connected to the dash lights?

    I just took apart my dash to put in a new blue background fascia as well as put in new altezza tail lights, and now whenever i break my dash lights come on and my right break light doesn't work!!!
    Whats going on there?
    Have i put i wire in the wrong place when i put the dash back in?
    Cheers for any help!

    theres only one wire connection in the back of the dash, I doubt its the dash cluster...
    I would say check that the right tail light isnt blown

    Both are working...
    Its just that when i break, the dash lights come in instead of my right break light...

    its a wiring fault, you'll find that you have connected the wrong cable to your dash cluster it happened to me except i didnt pick it up, my auto elec did when i took her in for a air con regas and service.

    Pull the dash out and re-connect it all?
