i noticed something when i parked my cr in the garage last night, when i brake i saw that the garage wall became illuminated! i also noticed that the indicators also lit up. could this be due to a bad ground?
Also i have only one brake light that comes on under braking and only one front headlight both high and low beam, any idea what would cause this? i need to crush these problems before i get the car road worthy.

Re: parking lights and indicator come on when braking
also on a side note the speedometer comes on intermittently and shuts off a few clutch movements later (i think theres a correlation).

You could do worse than address EVERY ground connection you got.

Check your speedo wires ( not an MD budgie smuggler ) are not shorting against exhaust pipe . Its common ( at Byron Bay )
Then go through all earth connections . If it happens when headlights are on check the wires in back of headlights are still clipped on and not shorting . Also common .
You also have earth wires under right side of dash on a pillar and then both left and right front side of engine bay . Corrosion on these 5mm bolts does occur .

@MD
Yeah we have this real monster called Chibuku shake shake, you leave it to ferment a week, it gets you really going hey!
no i noticed that my parking lights came on under braking so after that i had a friend walk around the car while i braked and he saw the rest. is pretty interesting.
@Kevin
im unfamiliar with all the locations of the grounds on this car (apparently theres a lot?) where approcimately should i look?
the headlight wires are all in and fine. ill definately check that speedo cable then its very irritating!
