Re: Fog lights

check if you have power to the switch (start by checking fuse)if so then see if it goes to the lights, if so then you have a bad ground, if not you have a bad wire somewhere (or bad switch)

Re: Fog lights

Maybe you should unmount the part that has three buttons on it which are fog, resitances and if you have hatch button... After unmounting you should check for if the electric is dead or alive at the cables that comes to switches...

Check if your high beams are stuck on the "ON" Position. They wont turn on if the high beams are on. I know this because it happened to me
