Pixelfill Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Just checking the simple solution does your fog light use a relay? could be the relay is fried? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi-7 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Erm no idea - how would I check this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 rewind slightly .. Is your car a UK or a JSpec. I it's UK then I don't know? If it's a JSpec then the fog light will have been added when it was SVA'd on import. Most likely the fog will be fitted just as a switched 12V feed from the front of the car. Some fog conversions use a relay to switch the light. If so there may be a 12V automotive relay somewher between the switch and the bulb. If the relay is blown then it won't switch the voltage through to the bulb. you should be able to test it with a continuity tester and a battery.

imi-7 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Its J-Spec. I will have to open her up on the weekend to investigate. Just on the off chance its not the relay, could it be anything else? Thanks Mike. BTW where you from 'oop norf' - I am originally form the Burnley area :-).

Pixelfill Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 If the bulb is working then the only possible explanation is the circuit that feeds it. You'll need to confirm you are geting 12 volts to the bulb holder, if not then check that you are getting 12v out of the switch, to determine where the circuit is broken. I was born t'other side of th' border in Halifax, but have lived in Preston for the last 9 years. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 not yet Though Preston rarely sees snow - just rains. A lot ! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi-7 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 HaHa true. I'm back up in the Penines early March - hopefully it will be warmer as tackling icy hilly roads in the Soop is a bit dangerous !! Thanks for your help Mike.
