Fog light switch

Post by Dean » Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:35 pm

My Bongo came with a crappy aftermaket fog light switch. I've just bought a proper one but have no idea what the 4 terminals are used in what order.
Has anyone got any idea?
Thanks

Shouldnt be that hard to work out with a meter that does resistance. I used to grab any out of old mazda's in scrap yards UK Mx5's the 323 etc had one that was similar..

as far as im aware any rear fog light switch must either have a light in it to say its on or a light on the dash to show its on,just something else to think about.but i stand to be corrected.

Dean, the one that matches yours has a green ON light at the top. (Bottom pic.)

Mine in constantly pressed to on because i used it to break continuity to the earth from the spotlight relay when off, which is triggered by main beam.. (So it lights when the main beam light comes on on the dash.)

Now, its been a while since i set this up, so wire memory ain't so good.

I also rigged a red bright led in the lower back light portion to come on & show if i left my lower factory fog lights on when dark... (I'm more likely to get flashed by dazzled oncoming at night.)
My rear fog i rigged an on light in a spare lens in the dial pod.

If yer really stuck i can pull it out & run my meter over it, & try to find out what does what in a "normal" set up for the fog...?

I have one too.

Did you find out which wire to attach to which connection?

Thanks
