I cannot really say for certain when the problem developed as I cannot recall having to use the high beam or fog lights since purchase.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 99/T 996 cab has developed a gremlin. The n/s indicators and repeaters (both front and rear) would not work when the high beam or/and fog lights are switch on. It works perfectly in the day and when only the side light or main beam is used. I cannot really say for certain when the problem developed as I cannot recall having to use the high beam or fog lights since purchase. Any ideas? Bought privately but with a full specialist inspetion that failed to reveal any problems, but that was 10 months ago. Also, how many rear fog lights are meant to lit? I know most jap imports only have one and indeed you only need one (f/s) for MOT. However, only the n/s on mine lights up and its due its MOT next week. I have done all the buld/fuse checks. I have also investigated any short/open circuit in the rear light light cluster Its a LHD. any help would be appreciated Migration info. Legacy thread was 12462

POST 2Original post

I had a slightly similar problem where my front fogs came on with the brakes (noticed when parking in garage and front was illuminated - with lights off?!). Turned out to be a quite costly wiring loom replacement job. Migration info. Legacy thread was 12467

POST 3Original post

But not costly for you with the 993 right? There was a recall. Could there be a similar design flaw in 996s? Migration info. Legacy thread was 12469
