Hey all you experts. I have a bit of a dilemma, I installed my foglights yesterday afternoon and thought everything went well. Checked and made sure all my lights, signals, interior lights work and when I finally put everything back together bumper and all...I get into my car and my power windows were not working.
#2. Then I noticed my tach and spedometer were not working as well. Odometer was working of course, but when I took it up and town my street the needles weren't moving. #3. Finally, my aftermarket alarm works and everthing, but my locks will not unlock when I hit the switch. They'll lock, but won't unlock. When I remove the key from the ignition they'll automatically unclock. Can anyone help? I looked at the fuses, but I didn't notice any blown fuses. Thanks, -Christee- |

^ en not really.
no way bulbs are drawing enough power to make the other stuff crap out, my 800 rms amp draws more power then thoes with no issue. for fogs where did you attach the switch, did you just wire it into the stock lighting system so it uses the same switch, more then likely you blew a few fuses, do your dash lights work? do the regular headlights dim when you turn on the fogs? did you wire it as a standalone system, I would recomend that rather then tapping into other parts of you car so that if you shot em by a rock smashing into it and making the wires cross or whatever, just put a switch on the dash somewhere. -------------------- |

I attached the switch on the console where the relay/fuse panel is located on the drivers side. So no to answer your ques. I didn't tap into the stock lighting system. That's what we tried first as shown in the "How to Install Stock Fogs" write up. But where he shows how to use "second choice option" that's where we got all confused with the way the picture showed the wiring coming out of the circuit panel where those fog relays were located. Then when he connected it through a switch it really didn't explain much in detail. So when we tried it this way and tested to see if my fogs would turn on they didn't. So we got stumped and decided that we should have followed the directions on the wiring kit in the first place. ughhhh this is driving me nuts! My poor car! |
