Hard time understanding backfeeding

mardi 18 août 2015

I had (supposedly) a bad ground causing my backup alarm to go off when the left signal was on and the brake applied. Wiggling wires solved the problem.

Someone here told me that the current was backfeeding. I'm trying to get a handle on just what that means. After doing a little reading I guess the common conception is current flows from negative to positive be cause of "potential". Using the water analogy, does this mean current is flowing "downhill" to the positive?

I drew a diagram so no one would have to. With both switches closed, the load with the bad ground is getting it's ground from the other load?
I'm just not seeing the path that the electricity is following?
