I am looking at the current flow diagrams, and can't figure them out. Can anyone give me some insight on how they go?
I started up the car and my brake warning light is now on and so is my turn signal light ( very dimly lit). I figure I must have a short somewhere. |

it might help if you could think of the electrical current "flowing" from + to -. the - is also known as "ground". basically, the current flows from the + of the battery to the - of the battery, since the - of the battery is connected to the chassis, the chassis is called the ground connection. in the 74 electrical diagram on this site, the bottom of the picture is "ground" and the current can be traced thru all the components.
