Fog light symbol light up when braking

[Hazza]

Don't know why, but sometimes when i brake, the fog light symbol lights up when i put pressure on the brakes...

What can be the cause of this?

 

[Reyes]

Nice mod.

I have no clue.. never heard of that one before :S

Probably one of your bulbs is out on the dash somewhere...

Had this happen on my Mrs' megane.

bad ground connection somewere. had this on my old clio.

I fixed it by simply removing the rear lights and putting them back carefully ensuring that no cables were trapped etc. whether it will be this simple for you, i dont know. I was lucky and it was a nice simple fix.

 

[Hazza]

Well it's only happened after i was re-fitting my headunit.... do u think I touched a cable that would've affected this?

 

[Russ.]

more than likely then yeah, take your headunit out and try and put it back making sure the cables dont get trapped

 

[Hazza]

Yea its not affecting any of the lights on exterior, and its too dark at the moment to do anything, i'll give it a try in the morning.

Gotta put up with it for 2 hrs later 2nite!

Its the grounding on the rear lights...been mentioned a few times. Get a small file and check the connections on both rear sets of lights for corrosion. tidy that up (some people have used WD-40...I haven't) and should work a treat!

as said check connections on rear lights get a wire brush on them
