essex dan 0 Posted September 8, 2014 im having a rather strange one here. the foglight switch, with ignition on, press the front fog button, the green ring lights up as it should but the front fogs dont come on. press the rear fog button, again the ring lights up but as well as the rear light being on, the fronts come on also! its as if the rear frogs need to be on to operate the fronts. is this normal?

essex dan 0 Posted September 8, 2014 hmmm i must have some wiring screwed up somewhere or a silly switch then, i get some voltage coming out of the front fog output wire, but not enough to light them up. its only when the rear button is pressed that the fronts come live too. maybe time to get busy with an external relay i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted September 9, 2014 Yes, that's normal - the rear should work on it's own, but the fronts won't work unless the rear is on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 9, 2014 Fronts should come on on their own with the left button. When you turn the rears on (right button) the fronts also come on regardless of if the left button is on or off. So you do have a fault imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essex dan 0 Posted September 9, 2014 sorted it out now! used and additional external relay. for some strange flipped up reason i was only getting 2.4v on the output wire from the switch when it was connected to the foglights feed.but when it was disconnected (cut) it got the full 12v! strange times heh? so yes, added an external additional relay and now bob truely is my uncle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
