Hi my front fog lights not working when I push in switch there is no light on dash checked fuse it's fine done a visual check on relay that looks fine any help would be appreciated
Little more information will be needed. Did your fogs ever worked?
Is this your first time you tried them, or they stopped working and they worked some time ago?
If they stopped working did some work was done on the car in the meantime?
Hi mate only work done was hg last time I used the fogs few weeks ago maybe longer as i dont drive the car that much due to work they were working fine
Switch or relay would be the first things to check. Replacement with good switch and check with one of the other relays instead of this one should provide answers.
Yes, you can put another relay of the same king in the place where front fogs is, just to check if the present one makes problems. If with new relay you have fogs, then relay is the problem. If not then problem might be the switch.
Same amp, same number of terminals and normaly open for example. This is same kind of relay. I provided you link where you can see where you have same type (same part number) of relay in your car. Take out front fogs relay, and replace with one of those from my link. Then you will be able to check if front fogs are working and if the relay is faulty or not. After that return probing relay in its position, and front fogs relay in its position.
If you have a faulty front fog relay in the BCU it's not behind the glove box, it's behind the centre console which means arm rest, radio, switches and console out to do an ohms test on individual relays in the BCU.
I had to change the front fog relay in my BCU when fogs front fogs stopped working. Because I have had various relays fail in BCU including central locking, front fogs, wipers and rear fogs I moved my BCU to new location behind glove box which makes it so much easier to get at. I by passed my drivers window relay by fitting a mk1 unit in the drivers door, the pektron BCU is great when everything is working but a pain when things go wrong and a Deffo weak spot.
do you have a link to a pic of the one you require , theirs usually a few in a scrappy near me .
im guessing its the single switch the center of the dash not the double one but want to make sure.
if single one cheapest i could find was 16.99 online. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...009866?hash=item3d1e75508a:g:d7gAAOSwYlJW3HZB
That's the switch I need Andy bug don't particularly want to pay £16.99 as it might not be that I have not physically checked bulbs as I ruled that out as how rare is it for 2 to blow together but a local mechanic thinks it most likely is bulb due to water getting in but I ain't computant enough to try and get to fog lights as you have to take bumper off is that right ?
Don't muck about with the bumper, in your first post you said the warning light doesn't come on either. That could be the bulb, but if you don't get a click from the relay either then it's the switch not powering the relay. That could be switch, relay, or connections between them. The relay is easy enough to substitute to check.
On mine and on the diagram only the side-lights need to be on for front fogs.
yeah unfortunately you have either remove the bumper or have small hands and get in behind it and twist to unlock on the zs if i remember correctly. if i remember someone said you can remove most of the lower securing bolts enough to pull the lower end out enough to get to them without removing it completely .
