Actually the high beams are the only lights working. That is why the fogs do not work. They have to be off to trigger the fog relay. You need a new hi/lo relay. I have a Saab relay we can make work by adding a jumper to one of the pins.
For those that care... If you remove the white/blue wire from the high beam fuse and ground it, the fogs will work on high or low lights. If you also take the power lead (from the headlight switch) and give it power, the fogs will work any time. For Rob... That is the smaller white wire with a dark stripe. I think it's connected to fuse 2. |

My hi lo switch doesn't exist and nothing catches when pulling the lever back... i think it's time to put the interior back in, then check the oil lines. |

When I was there, I could hear the relay click. This means there is nothing wrong with the switch. You only need the relay.
Oh, you're welcome. |

Does the Saab relay take care of the H4s or are additional wiring needed?

QUOTE(RobW @ Aug 17 2015, 05:45 PM) Does the Saab relay take care of the H4s or are additional wiring needed? The Saab relay has extra external pins that are joined in the 914 relay. The Saab is also electronic switching and does not rely on the old coil/cam system like the 914. It's also twice as wide but will tuck up nicely under the dash. Here is my thread on this mod for your reading pleasure... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...lectronic+relay |

I tested the interior light and got 6 volts. Too low to light the lamp.
