porridgebird Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 My 94 pathfinder rt fog lamp went out. Replaced the lamp and still not working. Parts person dropped lamp before getting it into bag so I suspected she damaged it so I went back for another, swapped it and still no workie. Test light revealed no juice making it to the socket. The other lamp works fine. Short in harness somewhere? Surely these are not on a separate fuse and the fuse map doesn't show a fuse for the fog lights. I'm banking on it being a short in the wiring. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 WD21 fog lights were not factory installed, but were either done in the port or at the dealer - so there may be some variation in the length of wires that were left, location of the relay, etc. But the relay from the switch should be installed on the RH firewall in the engine bay. Since I'm too lazy to go out to the garage and take a pic, I found one from a post by Slartibartfast that shows where it's mounted (and conveniently marked FOGS) - just ignore his hand! The relay has two "87" connections on it, one going to each of the fog lights. I'd start my troubleshooting there. Unplug the connection at the bottom and check continuity to the light. If you have continuity, then it's a good bet you need to replace the relay. If no continuity, then check the disconnect in the cabling that runs behind the bumper. If it's disconnected, Yahtzee! If not, then you probably have a break in the wiring inside the loom somewhere. (Oh, and don't forget to check the ground wire, too.) Hopefully one of those will put you on the right track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
