Fog Light Issues

[N10-DS3]

Evening all,

Got a issue with my near side front fog light.
It won't turn off at all, tried everything.
It's just always on, even when I turn the car off and lock/deadlock it.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Will it drain my battery if it's constantly on?

Cheers!

Have you changed the bulbs from standard ? E.g have you fitted LED lights that might cause this issue ? As for the battery drain I'd say yes but I don't know if it would flatten it overnight to stop the car starting in the morning. Are you able to disconnect the light under the bumper ?

Look at your Owners Manual.

Yeah but p214 of the manual shows owners how to remove the fog light bulbs.... As that appears to be the bulbs that are playing up I was thinking removing the permanently lit one might help ?

Think they call it RTFM

Remove and consult your dealer

I still wonder if this is caused by a change of bulbs, like non error free LEDs....

Why are you in my group!!

[lfcrule1972]

You'd have to ask WTF mate, I think it's cos I said on Shoutbox that I wanted to be red text (for my name) rather than green, WTF made me pink !! lol

Why are you in the group then ?

I have the same problem but mine is on the far side. ive not changed any bulbs since new (September 12) only way it goes off is if I disconnect the batt.

[lfcrule1972]

If I were you I'd speak to your dealer.....

[parcel79]

yeah I did, its going in next week. still frustrating tho.

I can't remember if the DS3 has a dedicated fuse for the fog lights, but if it does you could try removing the fuse for the foglights. That is until you can get it fully repaired.

I can't see a fuse for the fog lights - http://ds3club.co.uk/showthread.php?...ll=1#post92918

Could one of a couple of issues.

1.) Fault with the BSI.
2.) Fault at the switch.
3.) Fault of the control wire for the light.
4.) Fault on fuse board in engine bay.
