More Foglight Help

[nick.dollimount]

So I finally got my fog lights set up and working EXACTLY how I want them to, with the help of CTScott of course..

They will only work if the ignition is on and will shut off when then car shuts off. So no more accidentally leaving them on They are also usable at any time (while ignition is on) regardless if my headlights or high beams are on/off.

I stuck a relay between the switch and the fog PIN3 on the connector under the steering wheel. The remote on wire from the relay is stuck in the green wire on the ignition connector. Pretty simple set up that only allows the fog switch to work if the ignition is on.

Now the problem I had for a while was that the fogs would not come back on if they were turned on, turned off then turned on again quickly. Also, if I had the button on when I turned the car on, they would turn on with the ignition, off with the cranking of the car and then try to turn on again but fail for the same reason of the quickly on/off/on issue. CTScott suggested bypassing the fog switch and just bridge it to test if it was the switch. Tried and low and behold, it was working. So I picked up a little rocker switch, modified the plastic place-holder to fit the switch in and hooked that up. It works beautifully. I can flick them on and off repeatedly and fast and they turn on and off every time.

I've attached a diagram of the setup. It's not the best but it gives a good idea.
