wiring problem

Forum: 

Hi Everyone, I have a '96 sportrak elxi and had a bulb go on the rear passenger side (stop light). So I changed the bulb and now when I apply the foot brake the side light come on and so do the internal instrumentation bulbs and I'd lost the radio. On closer inspection I see that someone has wired in a tow socket by hacking into the loom so I have removed the socket and sealed the end of the wire properly but still have the same lighting problem ( with or without engine on) although I now have radio. Q: how far back will I have to go to replace the wiring Unknw
My second problem is that I need to fit a 'lights left on alarm' but the instructions say the red goes to the lighting fuse and the black goes to the ignition fuse (which I can't find) so I was wondering if anyone knows the colours for the correct wiring that goes to the lighting stalk so I can fit the alarm there Unknw
If its easier please drop any replies to eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%70%68%69%6c%6d%65%6c%69%61%40%62%6c%75%65%79%6f%6e%64%65%72%2e%63%6f%2e%75%6b%22%3e%70%68%69%6c%6d%65%6c%69%61%40%62%6c%75%65%79%6f%6e%64%65%72%2e%63%6f%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b'))

Many thanks for any help.

Wiring problem

After much testing etc, I found that a short had occurred in the badley fitted tow socket. and that I had fitted the wrong type of bulb ( requires a two pin base, double element).
So now everything is ok.
