bazz780 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 now and then my car does this weird thing....each time i press the brake pedal the rear fog light and the indicator lights come on with the brake lights, this is also shown on the dash where the rear fog lamp indicator comes on and the hazard light indicator near the speedo glows as well.as soon as i release the pedal all is back to normal until i press the pedal again.it is a problem that is generally intermittent but always occurs after i have used the brakes to brake very very hard,.can anyone enlighten me on this?cheers Link to post Share on other sites
