1975 Fog Lights, 1975 Fog Lights Options

[gspreeman]

Can't seem to find an answer in the owner's manual. My 1975 has rectangular fog lights mounted in the big rubber bumper. How do they work? They don't light up but, I don't know if they should. I don't have a fog light switch in the interior. Are they just there as an option that doesn't function? Give me some clues. Thanks!

Check your dash if the switch is missing (open hole in the dash) to the left of the column.

If so, then you'll need to get a hold of a used amber bezel switch from someone on here, wire it up, then try it to see if it works.

If no hole, then you'd need the switch + wiring & to open the hole at the proper place to mount the fog light switch (find it from the backside & pop it out).

BTW - some of your other electrical problems could be due to old wiring with too much corrosion & resistance, &/or due to DAPOs hacking into the harness over the years of misuse & abuse! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

It will be a long slow process to track them all down.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Okay, so, I'm not losing my mind. I definitely don't have a fog light switch on the dash. Someone, years ago really hacked the electric system. I found a wire that was spliced into the windshield wiper wire and a few other splices. Where do I connect the switch to? What would the wires look like coming from the fog lights?

Since you seem to know something about 914s, what about my dead low beam on the drivers side? Dirty or worn out headlight switch?
