Fog Lights Not Staying On

[Smudgemanuk]

Hi all,

On my 98 Z3 2.8 when I have ignition on p2 and sidelights on, when I press either fog light button, the fog light comes on but as soon as I release the button it goes off

Are the buttons meant to stay down?
Does the engine need to be running for the fog lights to stay on?

Thanks Chris

You need lights (side or main) on for the fog lights to work.

Good point, I did have them on when this happened, I will amend the first post

Sorry for not being clearer

Thanks

No problem. The switch should stay in and the green light illuminate on the dashboard. Switch might be a bit "sticky" as many are rarely used.

Perfect, the light only illuminates when I hold the button in. Mine doesn’t lock in at all!

Looks like I might replace/ repair mine

thanks
