having some electrical problems with my eg
1st problem: My emergency brake light does not come on. When I put the ebrake down, i hear a click on the dash, but no light. When i start the car, it turns on for a bit then turns off. So i know for sure it's not the bulb
2nd problem: My reverse lights don't work. I've checked the bulbs and the fuse. It's all good.
3rd problem: My interior light does not work (dome). I've checked the fuse and bulb, it's all good.
I'm not familiar at all with the wiring. So you can say i'm dumb when it comes to wiring. Are these problems related somehow?

Re: having some electrical problems with my eg (brollie)
im an electrical newb but i can give a suggestion.
for the ebrake light. under the ebrake console there is a single wire that gets grounded out by the ebrake handle. look and make sure its there, and when the ebrake is up it grounds out.
for the others. this is what i did on mine.
pull all interior, carpet, dash covers (whole dash if you feel like it) and look for any wires that have been cut or spliced from a previous owner.
when i did this on mine i found a whole ingles bag full of wires that were unnecessary.
when i fixed them all, all my eltrical probs went away.
since i dont know the history of your car, or anything else of that matter thats all i can help you with

thanks for the help. I've checked the ground for th ebrake and that seems to be alright. I guess i have to pull everything out and follow all the wires. thanks again.
