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- |

If you just wired it up to your stock fog light wiring, you do not need another switch. There is already a switch for the fog lights located on the lever turns your headlights on (or atleast there should be if you have the stock fog light wires)
I am a little unclear on how you hooked up the switch though, becuase from your description. The switch you hooked up doesn't even connect to the fog lights. You have 1 positive connection to the battery, 1 negative connection, and a ground connection (also negative). So if thats correct, then the switch isn't going to do anything but blow the inline fuse. And if you did have to have wire a new switch into your sytem, you would wire it to ONLY to either Positive OR Negative, but not both. The stock switch is hooked up on the ground side of the FOG light circuit. You could have a few blown fuses now. Fuses that you could have blown are the 20A FOG fuse, and maybe the the 15A Headlight RH, and the 15A Headlight LH. So if the FOG fuse is blown, your sunroof (if you have one) wont work. If your headlight fuses are blown, then your headlights wont work, and your dimmer switch wont work (and if i remember correctly if your dimmer doesnt work, then your interior lights wont work) -------------------- |
