Hi
My front fogs have stopped working. I can hear the relay clicking inside the dash, so the switch must be ok, and both fog light bulbs look ok, though I haven't tested them properly - the filaments are intact. Could it be a fuse? If so which one should I check?
Thanks for any advice !

Re: Front fogs not working
if you remove the drivers side headlight, and the grill you will find the 2 wire white connector that brings the supply over from the switch/fusebox to the relay, it travels under the slam panel at the top of the main rad, this was badly corroded on mine,i had to replace it.
my relay was clicking, but the fogs didnt work, once replaced it was fine, maybe it was the earth side that was broken. its located off the main loom around where the headlight supply comes out of the loom itself.
mine has a switch on the dash that has an A/B symbol on it, the idea is that you can fit fogs and either spots or driving lights to the other side of this circuit. front fogs on then click the A/B switch----front fogs then go off and either driving lights or spots come on. try looking for such a switch, and that its in the correct position.

Thanks so much for this.
It was exactly what you said - the connector on the wires behind the drivers side headlamp. The connectors had gone powder blue with corrosion of the copper and actually snapped in one place. So I cut them off the wires, and simply soldered the wires so they are now "hard wired." (I can't see me needing to remove the fog lamps, and if I do, I can simply unsolder the wires). Then covered in heat shrink tube for a tidy job !
Thanks again. What a great forum.
