Hi guys, I'm new here so apologies if this may be somewhere else. I've got a problem with my A3 - the fog lights are always on when the car is on, button is a little jammed so I'm guessing it's the switch. I've just found this double fuse in single fuse slot with a cable running under the dash, was wondering if it had anything to do with it. Could anyone tell me? 

Hello Jack,

Many thanks for being in touch. 

I wondered how long you’ve had the car, and whether you inherited the issue with the car. 

To me, this looks like a previous owner has ‘deliberately’ modified the spot and fog light system so it’s permanently on. 

It was a fad a couple or so years ago - maybe still is?- to have fog lights on all the time ( not in bad weather as should be). Something to do with attention seeking, and look at me, I’ve got spit lights on my Audi! 

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Cheers for your quick response Gareth!!! 

I've had the car since Aug 2020, its had a fair few previous owners and I'm restoring it then doing it up etc. 

I did think it was a DIY mod that someone may have done, and I also read that somewhere. I'll have a play about and maybe get the multimeter out 🙂

 

Cheers again dude! 

i have same on 2 my  a4s    and  was for alarm    kev

Cheers mate, I don't think my A3 has an alarm. It's only hose the basic key, no central locking yet. Will be fitting it after I've sorted out the engine. 

Thanks for your reply 🙂
