ac92pathfinder Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 does anyone know what other relay on the car i can use to see if the fog lamps work? so i dont have to go hunt down for one and find out it's not the relay. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSquirrel Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I recall the horn relay being the same part #, but don't quote me on it. The relays are all mounted on the firewall or passenger fender. You should be able to find one with the same part # as the fog lamp relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Test for voltage at the terminals in the fog lamps. 12V. To test the bulbs, remove them and inspect, you'll obviously know if they're visibly blown. If you can't tell, put them back in and take the entire lamp housing off and make 2 wires and connect it to the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 i know this may sound weird... with a voltage tester I have 12V at the wiring for the foglights, and with a known good bulb, they still don't come on. Doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac92pathfinder Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) yes i checked both plug to the bulb i was getting some reading not sure what the reading was. i tested the relay and i got some reading. i know when i used a small wire brush over the relay plug it arced alittle.

silverton Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 check voltage at the wires that plug into the foglight itself with the foglight switch on and powered. You should get close to battery voltage. From the sounds of it, you're having the same problem I am. Seems odd to me that you could have proper voltage at the wires, but no output from the lights.

ChrisPerna Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 CHECK THE FUSE THATS CONNECTED TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY. IT IS FOR YOUR FOG LIGHTS. I MADE THAT MISTAKE AND RIPPED OUT MY WHOLE BUMPER AND GRILL FIGURING IT OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
