[QUOTE="MrZappo, post: 1303571, member: 62424"] Unless there is some gross error in your wiring, I can't see how the two things could be related ... Based on how you described your wiring, it is obvious that this isn't your first rodeo so probably rule out error ? You said you found an issue with the "switch" between the case and the 357 ... I assume you meant the "pressure connector" ? I am not aware of a switch in that set up ... Is it possible something was shorting to ground ? I would have thought that would create an obvious sign like "fire and smoke" which I assume you would have mentioned ... A fuseblock is always a good thing although I don't normally utilize it for brake light led wiring as the current is so small and the connections are "right there" ... No sense running all the way to the fuse block when the switched power is back there anyways ... I also would not (personally) go through the trouble to connect Givi LED's ground to the aluminum frame as there is really minuscule current draw on those things. I would likely just tap into the negative feeding one of the brake lights ... In fact I did do that as I have the same set up as you ... Those SR357 racks are great but those pressure connectors are pretty cheesy ... Are you able to replicate the issue by wiggling the case or doea it seem to be totally gone ? [/QUOTE]
