Front fog lights

Post by ptatham » Sun Nov 15, 2009 7:02 pm

Hi everyone, I would like to get the front foglights working as they dont at the moment. There is an OEM switch which seems to work according to my multimeter (though it doesnt light up when depressed?), all the fuses seem ok, there is power to the switch so where do I look next? The bulbs are ok, just thinking if there is a standard place for a relay for me to check?

Hope you can help, many thanks, Patrick

Try inside the passenger side wing under the bonnet? I know this has come up before, have a hunt around using the search function.

They don't.. They just illuminate with the dash... :roll:

Also, try fuse 10 (15A) under the bonnet?
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Hi, I had exactly the same problem as you describe with the front foglights. After much fault searching :?: I found a small factory fitted 2 wire plug/socket just under the main battery (driver's side). one wire had broken off and the plug looked pretty corroded inside. I cut off the remaining wire and threw thew the plug away. I then fitted male spade ends to the 2 wires and pushed them back into the loom socket (a bit fiddly) :? Bingo!! now the fog lights work when the lights are switched on. Hope this helps! :D
