Hello,

On my Fabia 2008, I now noticed that when the ignition is off (even for a while) whenever I push the brake pedal, rear brake lights will light on.

I am pretty sure it wasn't the case before, could you confirm?

And would you have an idea of the root cause?

It's normal.
I think you can change the setting using something like Carista but I wouldn't bother.

Oh really, thanks for your information.

Maybe the setting has changed by itself when installing the new battery (I got a pretty remarkable electric arc).

My concern is more about the potential consequences on the battery discharging (maybe it was just the old battery, we'll see how behaves the new one).
Have a nice day

It's normal and I doubt it's alterable.

Won't flatten the battery unless the brake pedal is pushed continuously.

You're right, Pete. I was stupidly thinking aboout the option on my Rapid rather than the OPs Fabia!

Thank you Pete and Lee for your confirmation
