   when i put my heaters on with my rear heater.. the battery light comes on.. so i put it on one..the lights on.. put it on 2 it gets brighter.. put it on 3 it gets brighter.. turn the rear window heater off and the light goes off.. guessin somewhere the cables are crossed.. dont kno if my battery is actually bein drained or if its just the light linked with the heater control...
   
   any ideas?
   thanks
