Breakaway and lights
I discovered today that my van is wired to power the clearance lights when brake lights are powered. I've not noticed it before as my vehicle's parkers are always on with the engine running. This is improper wiring but a side affect is that the clearance lights are on if the breakaway switch is tripped, which I think is a good idea. Perhaps one day I'll rejig the wiring to bring the (LED) clearance lights on only when the breakaway switch is tripped. The breakaway switch gets its power from the house battery so there is plenty of reserve power for the lights. I previously wired the breakaway switch to power the (LED) brake lights.
I don't know if the dodgy wiring is original or if added when ASC was added.
