My foglights don't work. When I pull the switch it lights up telling me it's getting juice, but the lights don't come on. I replaced the fuse, but that didn't help. I asked the previous owner and he said they used to work. He suggested a relay. I looked at the schematic in my Haynes, but didn't see a relay. From this description, does anyone have any idea what's up?

the location given in the haynes manual is not absolute. I shorted the relay that was supposed to be the fog light relay and scared the crap out of myself when the horn went off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Check the color of the wires in the schematics, they seem to be correst and will tell you which relay is the one. The switch is getting powe, that is why you have the switch light, but the out put of the switch needs to make it to the lights. If no fuses are popping (10) then you probably have an open, not a short. The lights have a common ground wire between them. Check it. Check to see if you are getting power to the lights. |
