I thought I'd better start a new thread on this rather than continue here...
Foglights on a 76 with backdated bumpers I'm down to the wiring. It "appears" that everything is in place although my 76 never had factory fog lights. The wiring to the fog lights is in place and terminates in factory connectors behind the front panel. The three wires to the fog light switch are ready to hook up behind the dash. It looks like the fog light relay is there (last round relay on the fuse panel?) and I have power at the #10 fuse (red with black tracer) that I think powers the fog lights. I installed the factory fog light switch and no go (no power to the fog light connectors behind the front panel. What am I missing? Hopefully something simple like, key needs to be on, headlights need to be on? Or is there some of the wiring still missing? Thanks. |

So that was it. The headlights and ignition need to be on. With that, I have power to the fog light harness behind the front panel.
It somewhat amazes me that Porsche installed the complete fog light wiring harness, and the relay on cars that were not delivered with fog lights (at least these late cars). All that is needed electrically is to plug the three wires into a fog light switch and install it in the dash.
