I got one from a scrappy but the fitments are different. (from a different model). I've rewired the switch (there's basically four wires) and when I connect the two BLUE WIRES to the dash the FRONT FOG INDICATOR lights up in the dash display

So these wires are sorted, but there's two left. These are RED- and I assumed that they illuminate the actual FOG LIGHT SWITCH and powered the FRONT FOG LIGHTS (when switched on).

But the switch isn't illuminating. Will the FOG LIGHT SWITCH only illuminate when I have FRONT FOG LIGHTS installed? or does it sound like my little switch bulb is knackered?

Thanks for reading this, any thoughts appreciated... [-o< [-o< [-o<

if I remember correctly, the fog lamp tell tail is on the dash and the switch will/should illuminate with side lamps on. Doesn't answer you question I know but it may help point you in the right direction

Hey thanks for the reply! My rear foglight switch illuminates and the rear fog is installed. The front foglight switch does not illuminate and I havn't installed front fogs yet. Coincidence? or knackered switch bulb?

I've got a bad feeling that no-one actually knows...

Try taking the bulb out of the rear foggie and see if the switch still lights up.

Good idea. I never thought of that

Had a 1.5 323F in today with fog lamps (must be accessory ones) and the switch didn't illuminate in that with the lights on but the dash tell tail came on when the fogs were switched on

thats weird There's a bulb in the switch tho. Ah well Guess I'll just have to do without it. I'm beginning to think the bulbs knackered tho because if i connect the bulbs - to its + wires the whole dash loses illumination, meaning that there is power going thru them

Thanks for your help

adam - elaborate on what you are connecting... you may simply be shorting something out here...

Don't worry tucker I know what I'm doing. I shorted them on purpose to see if there's power going thru. When I let go the dash comes back on. I just wanted to know if you need your fog lights actually installed for the switch illumination to come on but it looks as though my bulb was gone when i got it.

I got the switch installed but does anyone know where the connections are (for the front fogs lights) in the engine bay? I have a vague idea but I really need to be sure!

Whats your VIN, I'll check a wiring diagram for you Before you set your car on fire

I'll just get it...

Behind the top of the front bumper.

underneath the headlights!!! if its anything like mine

Thanks guys, I already guessed that but which side? or is there a connection for each light on each side?

each side u will find the connectors for left side and right side
nathan

Right, front for lamp wiring as follows :-

Blue wire to switch 12v feed from TNS relay (with airbags) or from headlight switch (without airbags) Blue/white wire from switch is the feed from switch to the lamps. The tell tail is also fed from this blue/white wire. The diagram I have also shows the switch connector having a red/black wire and a black/pink wire (without panel light control) or a red wire (with panel light control). The red/black wire is the 12v feed for the night time illumination and the black/pink is the earth or the red goes to earth via the dash reostat. There are 2, 2 pin connectors either side of the front bumper each with a blue/white wire and a black wire. The blue white wire is the 12v feed from the switch and the black is the earth for each lamp. I hope this helps, although you've probably sorted it all by now anyway Strange thing is, the lamps are not relay controlled

Woah that is ace. Thankyou very much!

It's very confusing tho..

Coming from the dash to my switch I have 2 BLUE wires and 2 RED wires. When I connect the two blue wires together I find that the dash light indicator comes on. Great I thought.

Connecting the red wires, i find there is a current running thru them. I thought that these were supposed to illuminate the switch but this isn't happening. It's wierd because the bulb does not light up even tho I find there is a current going thru

I disconnected the reds out of fear of the battery going flat

Do you have any pics of the diagram? thanks for your help!

Were the wires in a 4 pin block connector, 2 up, 2 down The wiring diagram won't photograph easily, it's spead accross 4 different pages Are you sure the wires arn't :-
Red
Red/Black
Blue/White
Blue

yes they were in a 4 pin connector. Don't quite know what you mean by 2 up 2 down.

Where'd you get the diagram from?

[quote="NINJAADAM39"]yes they were in a 4 pin connector. Don't quite know what you mean by 2 up 2 down.

[color=red]Means they are arranged with 2 above the other with no spare ports in the connector[/color]

I think this is right. And it was 2 up 2 down. If I have the dash indicator working (and eventually the fog lights) do I need the other pair of wires? (apart from switch illumination- which doesn't seem to work anyway)

If you're not fussed about night time illumination you only need to swith the Blue to the Blue/White, the tell tail will work by doing that as well

Wow you are a big help Robbie :mrgreen: It should very easy now I know for certain whats-what.

I presume that when you mention tell tale you are referring to the F-FOG dash indicator...

Yep, the "tell tail" is the Green indicator on the instrement cluster Called as such because it is "telling tails" or "squeeling" on the front fogs
