If you have not replaced the headlamp with HID, the next thing, are the high beams on ?

If you turn the high beams on, the indicator lamp on the main headlamp switch should go out.

Next thing would be to check the fog lamp relay in the fuse panel ( passenger side kick panel by the fuel inertia switch ).

The fog lamp relay is a half size ISO relay, you should be able to swap with the trailer tow parking lamp relay ( R201 ), to test with.

The fuse you checked is the F17, the fog lamp fuse for Relay R202, correct ?

    Just saw a clarification comment added to another posting, figured it was for this problem
    http://www.fixya.com/cars/t3478314-12vdc...

    The comment was :
    lamps dont work i already check fuse and relay

    How did you check the relay ? Did you pull it and bench test the normally open contacts with a meter, while applying power to the coil ?

    One sure try is to jumper the normally open contacts in the relay socket, and the lights should work. Jumper the contacts as shown below. Make sure of the pin orientation prior to installing the jumpers.


    If the fog lamps do not come on with installed, either the fuse is no good, or the bulbs are out.
    To check, remove a bulb ( don't touch the glass with your bare hands, the oil will cause a hot spot, and the bulb will blow out ) and check with a meter between the 2 sockets in the bulb connector.

    Sorry did not see this on 26-NOV, it was a clarification on another solution, wouldn't see email updates for that.

SOURCE: Front Fog Lamps

My guess is you have a corroded wire (that has shorted out the connection); known problem for this vehicle.

Fog lights not working on 2006 Nissan Maxima

The most likely cause is a 'short' in the wiring. Remove the light fitting and take a good look at the connections on the actual light fitting. Look for dirty or damaged parts. Check the wires and the connector blocks are clean, shiny and are not damaged. Then check the light fitting itself for damage. Check the seal where the light fitting fits against the bodywork. If moisture or water is getting past it can affect the lights.

2004 nissan maxima fog light fuse location want to check the fuse fog lights not working

System Description EKS0058X Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The central processing unit of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When activated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps. OUTLINE Power is supplied at all times ? through 15A fuse [No. 43, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 15A fuse [No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to CPU (central processing unit) in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Power is also supplied at all times ? through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box) ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 55 ? through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 42. When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied ? to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 10A fuse [No. 1 located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 38. When the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, power is supplied

2006 Jeep Wrangler dash fog light indicator does not come on. Fuses checked and multifunction switch replaced. No power to the fog lights. Where do I look next?

check fuse 19 in underhood fuse box. Check for battery voltage coming into the MF switch on the red/light green wire. Then check for battery voltage on the white/yellow when you turn on the fog lamps. Next, check for battery voltage on terminal B16 in the relay socket after pulling the fog lamp relay

My fog lights won't turn on Nissan sentra GEX 2002

There are several things that can cause your fog lamps to not work. The fog lamp circuits need to be diagnosed. Your entire fog lamp circuit can be tested at the plug for the fog lamp relay located n the relay box.

PIN 5 on the relay should have battery power at all times. This power comes from Fuse #43 (15 Amp) in the fuse and fusible link box in the engine compartment. If there is power at this pin, the fuse and the circuit between the fuse and the relay is good.

PIN 3 on the relay goes to the fog lamp bulbs. There should be continuity to ground through the bulbs on this pin. If you have continuity to ground, connecting a jumper wire between PIN 5 and PIN 3 should make the fog lamps come on unless there is a short circuit to ground, which will cause Fuse #43 to blow. If there is no continuity to ground on this pin, the problem is either that BOTH fog lamp bulbs are burned out or there is a break in the wire between the relay and the bulbs.

PIN 1 Is the battery power for the primary coil in the relay. This power comes from the headlamp switch and power is only supposed to be present here when the headlamps are on and the dimmer switch is on LOW BEAM. If power is not present at this pin, the problem is a bad headlamp switch or an open circuit between the headlamp switch and the relay.

PIN 2 Is the control circuit for the primary relay coil. The control circuit should have continuity to ground when the fog lamp switch is set to the ON position. If there is no continuity to ground with the fog lamp switch on, the problem is a faulty fog lamp switch, an open between the relay and the fog lamp switch, or an open between the fog lamp switch and ground E37 (right front of engine compartment) and ground F7 (left rear of engine compartment) Please note: This circuit has redundant grounds....if one ground is not making good contact, the other ground can still make the circuit work.

PIN 4 on the relay is not used.

If all of the circuits/pins are working as described above, replace the relay.

That is pretty much it... That is all you really need to know to get your fog lamp circuits diagnosed. Let me know if you need further assistance.

My fog lights are not working, the relay is fine but not sure where the fuse is? Don't want to buy a service manual for this one simple thing. It does not tell you in the manual.

I have a 2004 f150 xlt triton. I couldn't figure out the how to turn on the fog lamps and the manual was not helpful.

Solution: turn the light switch all the way to the right and pull the switch (out) towards you. Push switch in and it turns off. The manual says to turn switch all the way to right but doesn't say to pull switch out.

I want to add fog lamps to my '01 Mustang convertible. I can get the lamps, brackets & dash switch from Ford at reasonable prices. My question: Does the existing wiring harness include wiring for the...

i dont think current wiring harness is set up for fog lights but fuse box should have a spot for relay and fuse (although it may or may not have metal leads installed) if your getting parts from ford i ask them if they have wiriring harness for it
if you decide to wire them in yourself i would HIGHLY recomend u put a relay in the system if you dont you will have to use bigger wire tho the whole sytem. with a relay u only have use the bigger wire from relay to lights. You will also have to use a heavy duty switch u will burn up factory switch if dont use a realy
