Electrical gremlins

[westham1981]

Hello, I have a 2004 172 and have several problems with the electrics.
First of all I have no reverse lights. Secondly, the rear fogs come on when I brake. Thirdly, the rear fogs come on and flash when I indicate right. Fourthly, the car goes into limp home mode then shortly after the throttle doesn't work!

Not very good for a mass produced modern car! It makes my TVR seem reliable!

Any ideas on how to fix? I'm not chucking money at it as I'm only using it as a run around and would rather just get rid of it unless it's an easy fix.

Thanks in advance

the fogs on when braking is common m8,remove the drivers rear light clean all the connections etc,see if that sorts the fog problem

Thanks for your help mate, I don't want to get rid of the car as apart from being a tad annoying at the moment it's a great machine. It's really surprising how well it goes
