Very Wierd Brake/Electrical Issue

[f0xy]

Noticed some wierd things when driving home before, every time i braked the foglight indicator (under the headlight) on the dash would glow every so often, with varying amounts of braking pressure....i.e i would come up to a junction, slow down, it would glow a tiny bit, then a bit more etc....seems wierd.

so i stopped, left it running, and pressed the brake a few times....got it on video

what could be causing this to happen?

Do the rear fogs come on when you brake have you had a look outside car?

also id check the brake fluid

It's the connectors in the rear lights, need a bit of a cleaning.

There's a bit about it in the guide section.

My cup did the same thing before i got rid. Turned out the bulb connections in the rear lights were corroded.

Both my 172 and 182 have done this, mainly when putting it in reverse.

Its moisure in the rear light holders so it tracks across. Clean them up with some wd and it should go away.
