    Default Towing oddity?

    Just tested the wiring on my Vectra since having to splice the cables as previous owner had chopped them off Factory fitted dual electrics and all works EXCEPT when I put the brakes on, all the side lights come on as well!! Tried a trailer board and that works as expected so it has to the van at fault BUT logically if the sides come on with the brakes then the brakes should come on with the sides but they don't??

    Any ideas please? Was going to test for a short between them but can't see how that can be as brakes don't come on with sides - very odd!!
