Flickering Lights & Fog light on dash when braking

[MattGWilson]

Hi guys I've had a problem with my Vee for a while now which is basically the dipped headlights flickering when travelling over poor road surfaces or bumps.
I also had a problem with the fog light indicator coming on the dashboard when I push the brake pedal.
I fixed both and here's how:

interesting, as whenever I have had a 255 behind me (most of the time, lets face it....wouldnt be infront of a 230 now would it ) I have always thought they were flashing their lights at me, its quite a distraction in the mirror. I have always put it down to the zennons normal behaviour.

Next time you're flickering through the Knowledge Base you might come across this guide.

My MK 1 had a slighty flickering light when I braked, it was corroded looms going to the rear light cluster.

... and ironically 2 years later, my rear fog light is lighting very slightly when I brake today. Will be taking a look in daylight tomorrow as per your video :approve:.

Can anyone describe this connector? Video is dead.

Basically if you look right up behind the glove box in the passenger footwell there is a collection of blocks/relays hanging down, and the suggestion was to ensure that they were all well seated.

I would check connections to both rear light clusters as these type of probs can be bad earth or connection on plugs
