 Post subject: Help! Rear foglights have a mind of their own!

Coupe: gen3
Hi everyone. I've just bought myself a Coupe gen3 (03 plate). Love it to bits. however, my rear fogs seem to want to blink on and off randomly (when main lights are on). I've had the switch replaced 3 times with new ones, and it's still doing it.

Has anyone encountered this before and have any pointers for things I should look into? I guess it could be the wiring loom, main light stalk, battery or fog switch, but I'm not sure what is most likely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks everyone!

James

Sounds like theres a bit of a shortcircuit somewhere - have a look around the rear light connectors for water ingression...

Excellent thanks for that. Could you tell me where the rear lights connector is? I'm not that familiar with the wiring looms in the Coupe. I'll also try poppig the switch off and having a look at the connector in there to see if there are any loose wire strands that could be touching inside the connector block.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Nah, not really - not had much to do with '3's. Chances are it'll be behind the inner trim of the boot area, somewhere...
