front fog lights...... they don´t work (v6 D9 estate)

Post by yakker »

I´ve checked all the fuses put in new bulbs. but still doesnt work. The rear fog lights come on and illuminate in the dash that theyre on. But nada on the front and it doesnt illuminate in the dash aswell!???

Have any of you ever had this problem.

On top of this I also have a problem with my speedo. Sometimes it work some times it doesnt. But when I log from the OBD channel when the speedo doesnt work, then i can read the speed, so its not the sensor in the gearbox??????

Try removing the indicator stalk and giving the contacts a good clean, making sure it's reinserted firmly

Assuming the v6 is the same, front fogs are worked through a relay in the engine fusebox. A previous owner may simply have removed it so as to be able to use the rear fog without the front, (as you should be able to, if it was designed properly :evil: ) Fuses are F30, (n/s + warning light) & F31, (o/s). Missing / faulty relay or both fuses out would give behaviour you describe.

In which case, get thee to the scrappy for a new relay :)

Next step is to find out if the relay clicks when you turn the fogs on....
If you can, try a known good relay, (must be the same as one of the others).
