Hey
I have a small prob with my trip comp install into my EL GLI

The comp works fine with the ignition on but as soon as i turn the lights on it just blanks out have even disconnected the both the illumination wires and its still doing it

I pretty sure i followed this thread to the letter documents.php?d=32

WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG
