Are these faulty electrics?

Featured Replies

Noticed a couple of "odd" things on my Fabia:

1. Brake lights come on when the pedal is pressed, when engine turned off, and no key in the ignition.

2. Fag lighter will charge things, again when engine off.

3. The lights on "warning" buzzer sounds if you turn the engine off whilst one of the indicators is on.

Any thoughts?

All correct.

When you leave the indicator on and turn the ignition off the front and rear parking lights on that side of the car will be on, so the buzzer is on to warn you.

1. All the cars I've driven do this, pretty sure it's a safety thing

2. Normal, VAG cars do this. You can add a relay to switch it off when the ignition is off if you are so inclined

3. As moley described, it's to do with the parking lights mode.

All features not faults.
