front fog lights

Post by CHRISYD »

have the front fog lights got a relay, if so where is it? mine were on until I got to work after driving in the rain and when I got there they were out. one has a hole in the lens so im guessing water got in. a 10a fuse was blown so changed it but they still don't work. I haven't got any drawings or manual for the car so don't know what is what or where!!

Check the lamps - filaments may have blown with the water ingress.
Your Year shouldn't have a relay for front fogs. Fuse 19 (10A) feeds from side light relay base through switch.

Only Austrian 51 Models have the relay. The supply is from the base of the side light relay to the switch, through switch direct to lights.
