Post by: DaaanPrince on June 23, 2021, 01:43:27 am

Hi,

I have a problem with my tail lights..

if i have no lights on my break lights work as normal.

if i turn my normal lights on my rear fog and break lights decide they want to light up too?!

Classic bad earth issue.

Most likely one of the rear light clusters has got wet at some point and started corroding. I’d suggest taking all 4 rear light clusters off and cleaning both the terminals on the light clusters and the wiring sockets.

Good luck!
