Sounds like there should be a diode in place or a normally open switch to prevent that sort of thing on the signals.

I was thinking this also... then I called and asked painless they said I shouldn't need one with what they gave me.. sigh

the problem is you are trying to wire a rover correctly...
do it with a couple pints in you and half ass...  should work just like OE...

that 08 LR3... what color inside?  might be my wifes old one if you got it locally...  GREAT truck... tow awesom too..
