Flickering fog light on dash when breaking?

[497adam]

Hi when i break the fog light on dash flickers, any ideas guys?

you've got a bad earth on the rear lights. if you take out the connections on the rear lights you will probably find corrosion on the pins. Clean them up with some electrical cleaner and make sure the pins have got a good connection with one another.

that should do the job.

Mine does this also!! I'd be interested to know if it's a common fault. Is an earth crossing somewhere?

100% bad connection. You'll need something to clean the pins up, and possibly something to rebend the connections on the mulitplug. Took some fiddling on mine but cured it,

Maplins sell electrical cleaner.

Bit of sandpaper, and a terminal sized screwdriver to reset the pins will suffice

Mines started this again it does it when I gets cold and wet, just clean connectors on rear driver side lights and it's sorted

+ 1 for this, french shite! Mine also has water coming in the randomly placed grommets on the boot drainage channels, which conviently trickles down over the earthing points on both sides. Genius! Might take some pics and start a sticky as this seems to be more common than Renault might like you to think...

This TBH - I sorted mine out last weekend, Bit of Sandpaper on the contacts (Plug and light unit) a quick spray of contact spary and job done.
