My fog lamps or running lights(whatever they technically are called) are not working. Hoping it is just a fuse i checked my fuse box on the driver side of the dash where the panel pops off. There are a few missing fuses on that side. Does anyone know if one of these fuses could be the resason they are not turning on? I don't have a manual for the car. Thanks alot.

Your headlights are on right?

MIKE8898

Yeah. Headlights work fine its just the fogs that are out. Why? Are they run from the same fuse?

The road lamps only come on if the headlights are on, thats why I ask.

MIKE8898

Oh yeah I knew that lol. But they should be on at all times when the headlights are on since there is no switch for it right?

Should be.

Are you sure the bulbs arent blown?

MIKE8898

No. Since both are not working I couldnt swap them and see. I was just hoping someone might know which fuse it is before i spend money for new bulbs or HIDs.

They are 194 bulbs, you can take the ones from the door, maplight or trunk and they would fit. Thats the cheapest way to test if the bulbs are blown without buying a pack of bulbs.

Theres no fuse for them specifically.

MIKE8898

Thanks for the info aznboi. I will try the ones from the trunk later today.

I think its easier to remove the maplight or door bulbs then the trunk but its up to you. The license plate light is also a 194

just bringing this thread back.. my car has the same problem but i know for a fact the bulbs arent blown. both lamps just stopped working so i replaced both bulbs and nothing. Its driving me crazy trying to find out whats wrong! HELP!

Check the wiring, you may have a break somewhere.

ddecerchio

are the road lamps wired seperately? its weird that would both just suddenly stop working

aznboi2424

Yea, they are both wired to the headlights I believe

ddecerchio

i figured that since they come on with the headlights. but shouldnt my headlights not come on either if it was a wiring problem?

Your headlights are wired to a relay. The roadlamps are wired to the headlights. Your roadlamps would not turn on only if you received no power to the headlights.

ddecerchio

so if my headlights turn on and the roadlamps dont, and i know the bulbs arent bad, what do you think is the problem?

If you like i can get you a wire diagram.

A break in the wiring between the headlights and the roadlamps.

vaymoon

Did you fix the problem?

ddecerchio
