   Right i have got a 3 or so faults
   
   1
   my brake lights work normaly when side lights are off but as soon as i turn them on my brake light constantly stays on
   
   2
   before i noticed this, a week ago my handbrake light wouldnt go off, could this be linked to the above?
   
   3
   When i push my rear heater switch to de-miss my rear screen all my dash lights and side lights come on
   
   I have had a good look at the wires going into them and i have no spliced any of the wires. only thing i have done was remove my dials a while ago but cant see any problems there

   dont forget the handbrake light also is the warning light for the low brake fluid warning...
   caught me out the other day....... also check the earth for the handbrake switch section of wiring, on the 106 its under the dash on the floor, could be anywhere though on a sax i suppose.

   Just remember NONE of you looms are standard, you have no brake fluid level sensor, your stop light switch is hydraulic etc!
   I've told you before, the stuff that come out of my car to go in yours is too bespoke to be asking general questions on the forum about.
   As I said I'll pop over at some point in the weekend to have a look for you x

   not the usual french interpretation of what a wiring loom should look like by the sounds of it. sounds quite tasty to be fair!
