I had this problem last year, but I cleaned up the contacts and it went away. The car just passed its MOT last week but I doubt the tester would have noticed this flickering. All the lights on the car are working correctly. If you watch the video, you can see the icon flickering and you can also...
Sorted out the flickering dash foglight issue when braking. The n/s rear cluster screw had been tightened by the Hulk so it was a bit concerning trying to undo it. Found one of the connections was a bit furry so clean with sandpaper and a little WD was applied. Also sorted out that tight screw...
I bit of a bump for this……
I noticed tonight the fog lamp symbol on the dash was flickering under braking. I had a quick search on CS and it seems pretty straightforward what I have to do (my 1982 XR3i had this problem every bleedin’ winter!). I’ll get it done tomorrow.
As it’s a connection...
Looking for some help, for ages now the rear fog lamp symbol lights up on the dash when braking, started as a flicker and now is full on.. Kinda ignored this and now I find my hazard lights flash all the time which of course runs the battery flat.
Done the usual,
Removed the hazad switch...
bit more progress, things have been slow on account of me managing to catch i think the bubonic plaque and spend 4 days in bed, poor form when there's french things to fix I know.
Anyway, did a oil and filter change after quite the faf to get the car jacked up as the sill jacking point has been...
Swapped the airbag ecu and nothing exciting happened, the airbag light still came on but I found my fault— the driver’s side sensor (under seat, by door) had oxidised pins so presume some liquid spilled onto that… I cleaned the plug with contact cleaner and swapped it out for the old passenger’s...
Checked the main connectors to the rear light clusters for corrosion? I've had similar on two mk2 Clios, both times it was a little corrosion on the pins there.
Now that's a changelog.
No doubt people will still be bitching on Racedepartment about how buggy and useless it is and not worth the money. I'm not going to get a chance to jump in today but you better believe I'll be having a play with the new stuff this week.
Just want to revive this. I've something similar happening with my 182. The foglight indicator flickers on the dash when I apply the brakes. The rear brake lights illuminate fine when the brakes are pressed and the foglight at the rear doesn't appear to illuminate/flicker... just on the...
When the car is on full lock either side it squeaks what sounds like a squeaky belt? Also the Stop light and battery also come on when this happens? We also get the foglightflickering when braking as well? Sounds to me like typical French electrics but if anyone could help narrowing it down...
I'm having this lightflickering problem too, is this just the rear light assembly? In mine the light itself doesn't flicker just the indicator on the dash.
Re: setup - as much front caster as you can get, usually done with top mounts, this gives you more dynamic camber as the car turns. Static...
Quick WFH lunchtime spanner session whilst the Mrs was out has got the car sitting back on its wheels.
Also managed to refit the splitter and affix the obligatory small front plate.
Remaining jobs on the current list are:
-Get the exhaust sitting correctly in the bumper cutouts.
-Rear...
Another small job done today, noticed the foglight was flickering every now and then while braking and the cruise control sometimes would disconnect when indicating left.
Took the left rear cluster out and found the expected corrosion. All cleaned and working fine again!
Also been for an...
@Hollidog, yes sorry, that wasn't clear, my actual foglight didn't flicker either, just the indicator on the dash!
I will still use the car on the road so may start with the 2 degrees camber with max caster that @Kev@KAM also suggested.
Rear camber isn't adjustable, probably a bit higher...
Hello again @CrashBurnFly, there's 2 non expense things you can check before anything else, these 2 issues can cause Cruise issues... One is corroded terminals on your rear lights, if you see a faint rear fog dash symbol flicker when you break it could certainly be that, the terminals just need...
Ive noticed when i press the brake pedal i get the fogs coming on slightly and flickering indicating bad earth, Ive had this for months but i only mention this as this evening ive just gone to start the car whilst i was parked in reverse gear, the foglight is dimly lit with the ignition on and...
Holy update batman. Bolded some of the cooler bits - Massive improvement in VR performance, able to add radio stations to the android auto ingame, able to change wing angles on the fly, change controls without leaving the track, textures for puddles to form in drains, Aurora Borealis and so on.
Another minor update, cars just been lapping up the mileage as normal, however hit a couple of stumblers recently.
The cat joint fell off manifold side, so I sold the original cat and stuck a cheap eBay 60 quid one on with a new fitting kit. That keeps occasionally throwing a Lambda fault up...
hello dear
I have seen an old post from 2012 about an issue that you had with your car back then, I have the exact same car and same issue, do you remember how you get it fixed !?
I'm dealing with a flickering headlight just by touching the USH but it's not a sage solution, and it comes also...
Also noticed that when I indicate, the rear foglight symbol on my dash flickers faintly! They also seem to be cancelling my cruise control too! I’ll do some searching but has anyone experienced this before??

I’ve got a bunch of electrical gremlins and I’m starting to suspect a bad earth. What’s the best way to go about diagnosing if that’s actually the case?
Current symptoms: foglight flickers when I brake even though I’ve cleaned up a badly corroded connector on the driver’s side rear light...
Yeah the black rear light connectors @imprezaworks , I never noticed the little flap that clips outward until it was suggested and pushed all the metal prongs back out... It seems to have worked, for a fair while I had an intermittent foglight flicker on the dash so I'm guessing this messed up...
...working for a good 12 months but now not working at all... the green cruise light appears but that's it... I've also had a flickeringfoglight symbol for a while when braking but that seems to have cleared up now as well...
Any help is really appreciated as these issues irritate...
Got a funny fault with the mk3.
When the headlights are on, the bulbs on the outer edge also come on but come on and off during driving.
What are these bulbs for? They are mega bright like fog lamps but the car has bumper mounted foglights which work fine.
Main beam and dipped beam and side...
Just having a go at this now. Followed your steps of taking them out one by one. Weirdly it doesnt matter which is one is in, they both cause the foglight to flicker. Any ideas?

First one is very common
When you brake does the foglight sign flicker on the dash inbetween the rev counter and speedo? As mentioned above just whip the rear lights off and clean up the terminals with a bit of sand paper.
Like I said , mine just cured itself . I could have the CC set , green light on the dash but the steering wheel buttons wouldn't function.I took off each rear light cluster , one at once and pressed the brake pedal. It turned out it was the offside light that was causing the foglight dash...
