Nope, never seen that, but I don't use my fog lights that often. Sounds like either a bad switch or a bad relay to me.
I'm also a 2018 EC owner from Taiwan and i found that when i was unable to turn it off immediately, try keeping turning it off more than 3 seconds and miracle happened lol...Pls reply if you find it useful.I am driving a 2018 Eclipse cross and all was good until recently I used my fog light. In the past I was able to turn it on and off normally but now I am unable to turn it off after turning it on. The only way it will go off is when i turn off my engine.
Even when I am using automatic headlight with the fog light in dark places, both the front leds and fog lights will turn off when I enter a bright place but both will turn back on when I enter a dark place i.e. tunnel.
Anyone experiences this?:sad:
hi I just noticed last night that I have the same issue. Its working when I turn it onHad the same issue once but never had it again after turning the engine off and on again.
What do you mean try to turninI'm also a 2018 EC owner from Taiwan and i found that when i was unable to turn it off immediately, try keeping turning it off more than 3 seconds and miracle happened lol...Pls reply if you find it useful.
have you fixed ur fog light switch? I have Mitsu EC 2018 too and last night i had to use it when it was raining hard and dark and tried to turn it off but i had to swtvh off tye headlight so i could be able ti turn off thw fog lightI am driving a 2018 Eclipse cross and all was good until recently I used my fog light.

I had what I though was an issue, but I realise that its wired and operate slightly different front the asx.... i believe the addition of the rear fog light changes the whole dynamic of the light switch operation.... the dealer weren't even sure how its operated and claim that it was just an reflector however the same switch operate both front and rear fog lights... there's actually 2 fog lights indicator in dash gauge (green n orange) showing when they are on ...I am driving a 2018 Eclipse cross and all was good until recently I used my fog light.

I dont believe your fog lights comes on by default once headlights are turn on when in auto mode....however the latter function of turning off with headlights is normal.....M fog lights comes on when I have my headlights on auto, I tried turning on and off the fog lights switch but for some reason my fog lights are on the same time as my headlights. When I manually turns headlights off so does the fog lights. Is that normal?
Yes, it does, that’s what confusing to me cuz when I turn on headlights manually the headlights itself and the fog lights comes onI dont believe your fog lights comes on by default once headlights are turn on when in auto mode....however the latter function of turning off with headlights is normal.....
Maybe it's some feature in etacs coding where fog light function can be tied to headlight...
But question....if you turn on headlight switch on (not auto) does fog light comes on just the same?
That’s not a normal function right?Yes, it does, that’s what confusing to me cuz when I turn on headlights manually the headlights itself and the fog lights comes on
Nope... but I also find it hard for it to be an electrical issue as fog and headlight circuits are totally independent..... the etacs is where it can be programme to operate like that.That’s not a normal function right?
Ok well something is wrong... fog light should come on when its switch on when park lights are already activated.1 Do you have an independent switch for fog on headlight switch colum?
2 can you see the fog lights indicator display on dash front fog (green) and rear fog (orange)
Yes, I have an independent switch for fog lights and the fog indicator does come on when I turn it on and I don't think my car is equipped with rear fog.
I also tried turning my on my park lights only then fog lights but fog lights does not come un
Ok well something is wrong... fog light should come on when its switch on when park lights are already activated.
When you tried to turn on fog lights with park did the fog dash light display?
Otherwise I would believe that both fog and head lights are program to operation together and not independent...
For example; in etacs program, there's an option
1...to marry the daytime running light with headlight
2...option for fog lights to operate as day time running light (which means they will be on once vehicle is started)
3...as well as day time running light to operate independently. (Which is option on the higher spec)
I believe there are many more options relating to fog lights and other lights and very likely can cause the common switch operation that you are having.. so its not a fault but setting from factory due to low spec model.
I doubt the dealer would adjust this setting... so you would have to seek an programmer to make adjustment making fog feature independent from headlight.
I will go back through list of feature otpion and see if I can narrow down anything that has to do with fog light.

I also tried with just the park lights on but fog lights didn't come on. I just talked to the guy I dealt with from the dealer and he did say what you just said, newer cars like Eclipse Cross operate as day time running lights as well. And thank you for all the help.
