Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

If i turn on my daytime running lights or fog lights, my driver side tail light turns on like as if I pushed the brake and doesn't go off? Anyone can help?

POST 2Original post

By any chance are you pulling up two clicks instead of one when turning on fog lights? The 987 has a rear fog light on the drivers side activated by the second click. If it's on without the fog lights I'd guess the switch is messed up.

POST 3Original post

Yes it's on the second click that it does it, what is this or should I do?

POST 4Original post

It's a rear fog light. Turn it on with really dense fog, snow etc when you're having trouble seeing taillights in front of you. Makes you easier to see for the guys behind. I wouldn't use it for lighter fog etc as it's bright enough to be rather annoying. Just pull out to the first click for regular fog lights. Probably depends a lot on where you live. I've only had a few occasions in all my years of driving where having a brighter tail light really seemed like a great idea as you really didn't see a car in front of you until you were on it. Don't know for sure but it seems to be a European thing. Haven't seen it on other cars. There must have been a change in US law as the older cars didn't have them though the spot for the bulb was there.

POST 5Original post

Graywolf's explanation is correct. There is a rear fog light, just on one side, that comes on intentionally with the second pull/click of the light switch. It is on purpose so there's nothing you can do except don't pull the switch to the second position. I haven't read it in a long time, but I'm sure it's explained in your owner's manual.:cheers:

POST 6Original post

on my 987.2 the rear fog doesn't come on with the daytime running lights. only on 1st click. there is no 2nd click on mine.

POST 7Original post

Thats because the 987.1 didn't have daytime running lights in the US. They had "fog" lights which were turned on with the first pull/click of the light switch.:cheers:
