pretty funny electrical issue

I had a good one. I kept blowing the fuse for the tail lights, interior lights, roof lights. I couldn't fine it so i took it to my mechanic. he looked and looked and jiggled wires and told me to drive it till it blew again. I went to pick it up and then every time I put my foot on the brake, or turned on the right blinker, My starter engaged!! I finally found that the left battery had rubbed the wiring harness and barred some wires!

That could have been real handy, if you had taught it to start the glowplugs, when you pulled on the steering wheel to get in. lol
