when braking a light flickers on the dash

[matty J]

As above when i brake the fog light on the dashboard flickers ever so slightly and its annoying any ideas????

lose wire or connection maybe?

You've got a short to earth. Check the cables going into the rear clusters. I had the same. I took the plug out of the socket. Took the rear light clusters out and bent the prongs of the socket so they were closer together. Put the plug back in and because the contact was now better, the problem went away.

its a bad earth, remove the rear cluster connectors and wd40 them

Or moisture in the bulb holders and its tracking across. Common thing.

Same here, the last pin moved a tiny bit and that was causing trouble....

Yeah also sometimes the pin goes rusty and needs sanded a bit to make a better connection

I also have this problem, also does it when i put car into reverse, very annoying!

Also check the earth cable itself which runs from the rear cluster downwards, it attaches to the body work in the boot and you'll find sometimes its a little loose.
