Wired up blanking cover

[Dean]

Whilst fitting my plasma Gauges at the weekend I found a spot for the switch/rheostat, where two switch blanks were. I took one out and then noticed the others had a bunch of wires connected to it...any ideas what it could be. They are on the main dash to the right of the steering wheel

Thanks

Front fogs..? Where there 4 wires?? Could also be part of the redundant/south Japan not fitted "winter pack" loom?

From memory.. Red & black coded..?

Yup its the front fogs, I used the same place for my display controls, just a tiny bit of trimming of the metal plate and remove the central divider.

I'm planning to fit some RING driving lamps over the weekend. I've already purchased a fitting kit with relay etc but is using the existing wiring loom and adding a fuse and relay into fuse box also an option then?

[g8dhe]

Its an option if all the loom bits are there and can be located, BDC found his connectors down by the bumpers, not sure I have seen a spare relay socket up where the relay is factory fitted however (but I haven't looked that hard either!);

Cheers Geoff, if I don't decide to use the existing loom -I'll at least put the relay in the right place. It's amazing the level of detail on the wiring diagrams

I don't know if my bongo is typical of all others, but my bongo didn't have factory fogs. I found a pair of plugs taped up behind the bumper (further inspections revealed the plugs had never been "plugged", and the tape was filthy and brittle indicating it had been there a long, long time)

I had to chop the plugs and spade the wires as i was fitting aftermarket foglights... Upon removing the blank where the "winter pack" switch should live, i discovered wires plugged into the rear of the blank,when i plugged them into a suitable mazda foglight switch i fired up the fogs, and was surprized that they worked! I never found the relay, but i could hear it clicking when the fogs were switched on!





I'm afraid i can't remember any more details as it was quite a few years ago when the fogs were fitted originally!
