On this Renault Clio, there is an issue with a fog light that activates when braking or changing gear. This problem is quite common in the Renault Clio and Megane Scenic, but it can also occur in other models.

Often, the issue may stem from oxidation of the bulb holder. Troubleshooting should be done through trial and error.

In this case, both rear light clusters are removed. Starting from the boot, unscrew the light held by the screw located on the interior trim.

Once the light cluster is removed, disconnect the connector. This procedure is repeated for both lights, checking (with a brake test while the car is stationary) if the problem persists.

The fault, in this case, is identified in the right rear light. Test the braking without the bulbs in the light.

The issue concerns the bulb holder! In this case, the entire rear light cluster is replaced, which should be installed by reversing the disassembly steps.
