Rear fogs not working?

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Check fuse - should be F19, passenger fusebox on your car, but they do vary.

The standard setup only has one rear fog - driver's side, (though it looks like you have two).

If it's not the fuse, bulb or holder, it's possibly the wiring around the tailgate hinge snapped, or the stalk.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Indeed it was the wiring the had snapped......Thanks mate :wink:

Also it is fuse 19 on my box......but my fuse box is on the drivers side?!

Now my next project is.......Finding out what is causing the lack of boost till 3,000rpm? I have a feeling it is either the AFM or the Actuator/Solenoid?

406's have two fuseboxes, 'passenger' as in passenger compartment, to distinguish from 'engine' - engine compartment.
