Electric-y problem...
So I haven't really got any electronics experience and unless someone comes up with a eureka answer which is idiot proof when it comes to fixing it, I will probably get LR to fix it for me, but here is my problem:

The rear fog light button AND the Roo Light Spot lights both work temperamentally, but also are not related when they do/don't work.

The rear fog one is the one I've tested most because it's easier to do whilst driving without p*ssing too many other drivers off! And I can press it to my hearts content without it working (neither dash nor button light up) and then 10 minutes later I try it and it works perfectly!

The spots I haven't got a clue... I thought maybe water...? But then I tried them in the heavy rain and they worked fine, then after a period of traffic with dipped beam, I tried them again and nothing?!

Has anyone had any experience with something similar?

Cheers,

Andy

I'm having trouble with my s/lights , they are only working when they feel like it too, had it all in pieces other week stripped back to basics, changed relay etc put it all together and nothing , tried old relay and they decided to work fine ????
Parked car and then nothing again, following morning all working , checked today and off again.
Probably leaning towards faulty relay as wondering if its sticking with all damp weather ????


Sorry I can't be of help but got that off my chest anyhow Shocked Dave

I'm not sure if this helps, but, whenever I've had intermittent electrical faults a lot of them have come down to dodgy earth connections, can't say if yours is but always a good starting point. Thumbs Up Optimists say the glass is half full..

both probably operate on relays, i think the fog relay is in the seat box, make sure it's properly seated.
