Help My Fog Lights Arent Working!!!!
okay well my foglights have been dead (so i thought) for couple months now and i never bothered changing them cause i was never a fan of the yellow condom....but i discovered on this site how to take them out about 2 months ago and just 10 minutes ago is when i decided to get my lazy arse up to take them out and change the lights....well turn outs my lights ARENT blown....the little coil is still intact and looking good...yet they dont turn on...this is for BOTH fogs...so i tried checking the fuses.....it wasnt that either....WHAT THE HELL IS IT?????? i noticed the connectors for the lights were disgusting....had what looked like crap on the bottom of a shoe but in the socket....could it be that? could it be my wires are bad? what is it? please any info would be appreciated

If fuse 36 in the underhood fuse box is good, and you see the indicator light on at the fog light switch assembly in the dash, the bulbs are bad, or bad plug connection, or bad ground connection. If both lights are off, the more likely scenario is bulbs are bad despite your visual inspection. Only way to tell for sure is w/ a VOM.
If indicator light in the dash is OFF, the fog light relay is bad, or the dash fog light switch is bad.
good luck

I have mine setup with my carputer so that they turn on when I turn the car on, off when I turn the car off. I saw a suggestions for which wires to splice on the forums here before, but you had to make sure to turn them off.
When I get my car back, I'll take a peek and let you know which wire is the one going to the fog lights.

if you dont want to spend time troubleshotting, just re-run some wires with a relay and fused. Thats what I did to mine. now mine can do day time running lights or without the need to turn on the main light. goodluck.
