When the rear fog comes on does the light on the dash switch also.....if there is one? Surely this can only be done to a sketchy wire somewhere which is gonna need finding, bit odd its all happened at one, possible water on contacts somewhere.

MightyNexx Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Fixed the fog light problem... I had fitted a dual fog light switch as I was planning of fitting front fogs to the van but found out it hasnt got the higher spec wiring loom and I cant wire them in :L so I switched back to my old single rear fog switch and its all done, forgot to check if it fixed my brake light problem.... but hopefully it has somehow lol.
