Makes sense that the whole car shorted and went dim. One of the terminals on the fog switch is the ground connection for the little light in the switch. One terminal powers the relay, and the other is the 12V feed from the ignition switch. With ignition on, the power to the fog light switch is directly from the battery with no fuse in the line. Dead short for sure.
The fog switch should have 12V on terminal 15. Terminal 31 is ground, and Terminal K is the switched 12V. Should be 0V with switch off, and 12V when fog switch is on AND ignition switch is on. If 12V on Terminal K, you should have 12V on Terminal 85 of the relay should be 12V also. Terminal 30 on the relay is 12V feed for lights. Terminal 87 on the relay is 12V switched to lights. |
