Apparently I'm not so great at this wiring shit.
Anyway, I bought the ECS wiring kit for the oem housing foglights. It's all hooked up into lights with a relay and a fuse between the relay and battery on the positive side.
It is plugged into number 8 on the euro switch, here.
I have grill fogs now and started wiring them to run both grille and headlight fogs. Ran the wires to the grille fogs, each lamp has a positive and negative wire. Ran the pos and negative to the battery. The relay has a fuse built into it.
Now the relay has two wires. They would go to a switch.
I plugged one of the wires into the switch and checked to see if I could get the fogs to turn on. I plugged it into number 9 on the euro switch, for the rear fog lights. I assume that's the easiest/practical place to put them
After trying both wires I looked at all the lights and my housing fogs stopped working. I unplugged the wire from the switch and the housing fogs still didn't work. Checked all my fuses in the relays and the panel and they're all good.
Scratching my head over this.
Looked at the battery, terminals and wires to them look solid.
Switch is working all other lights are working.
I'll take a better look at the terminals in the morning. But I'm confused what I could have triggered to make the fogs not light up.
I doubt the bulbs shorted out if the fuses are all still good.
Any ideas?
Maybe both wires from the relay need to be used? Not sure where though. I figured you just run one wire that gives the relay a current and bam it fires up.
I sourced my information from these links.
