HURRY - THE FOG IS ROLLING IN


The fuse is labeled FOG LPS and is located in the block where the other fuses are, on the lower right portion of the block.

The block is located in the knee bolster door.

There is a relay. It’s located to the left of the fuse block.

You’ll probably have to remove the bolster to gain access.

To use the fog lights you must have the marker lights on.

A quick (but not all inclusive) test of the switch is to remove the bolster and cycle the switch and listen for the relay.



Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: fog lights

Because the wiring in vehicles is all wrapped up in bundles and frequently inaccessible, it is a WHOLE lot easier to troubleshoot electrical problems using a factory electrical manual.

Sometimes this is a separate book from the factory service manual. Sometimes it is a part of the factory service manual set of 3 or 4 books. These show everything on the circuit including relays, show fuses and what all is on each circuit or which fuses are for a particular circuit, locations of wiring, locations of connectors and devices, and wire colors and pin outs for connectors.

You can order a factory service manual set which should include the wiring diagrams from your dealer or here...
