Anybody have this issue or know how to correct it?
My fog lights do come on. However, I have to drive for about 5-10 minutes before they come on. It's like something has to heat up the connection before they will come on. I thought there may be a bad wire connection. But if that were the case, they would come on intermittently and at random (when I first start the car, maybe go off at some point, etc.). But they always do come on and stay on, just after the car warms up. Any idea why this is happening? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Yep, as the relays age, they start getting a built in time delay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
Relays are either on or off. If it comes on later, the relay is OK. There is a bad connection, probably the relay socket or relay prongs. Clean them well and slightly spread the prongs to ensure a good electrical contact. You know the first line was BS, right?
