I bet you have a trailer wiring plug on the van? If so it is causing the problem. Get rid of it and all will be well

Hi Folks,

I'm wondering if anybody has any additional ideas on a little problem I'm having:

My blinkers and flashers only work when the brake pedal is not depressed. When the brake pedal is depresssed, everything freezes.

I've checked all of the wires and grounds leading from the black box to the lights themselves, and see no obvious problems, i.e. loose wires, touching wires, etc.

I've cleaned the flasher switch contacts and reconnected; didn't see any bad wires back there either.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated--trying to turn and brake and not brake and getting the lights to do what they're supposed to do is a bit of a hassle in the current state..

Thanks! Joe T. Denver '85 Wolfsburg Westfalia EJ22 www.josephtrussell.com/Vanagon.html
