My fog light connector looks different than the one in the pic or it seems

that I can't find one that looks like that.

My connector has 2 signal and 2 fog light pins on the top row.

It has 2 parking lights and I believe 2 side marker pins on the bottom row.

It might be the same as the one in your yaris.

That's not the fog light connector that I am showing, it is the headlight stalk connector. Does you Yaris have the foglight switch on the tip of the stalk or is it a separate console mounted switch?

Where does one find this headlight stalk connector?

I might not be looking at the right spot.

My fog light on/off switch is on the signal arm just to the right of the low/high beam toggle.

All the functions seem to be on that one arm.(signals,high beam on, low beam, fog on/off switch, parking lights.)

That's the "arm" or "stalk" I am talking about. Follow it down to under the steering column cover and you will find the connector. There are three screws that you have to remove to remove the lower steering column cover. Two are under the steering wheel (rotate the steering wheel about 45 degrees in either direction and you will see them). The thirds is next to the lever for adjusting the steering wheel height.

Hi....I tried doing this and it didn't work. I hooked everything back to normal and am going to settle with the factory setting.

The only problem now is I think I blew the fog light fuse, because my fog lights don't work now.

I can't seem find the fuse box that houses the fog light fuse.

It's not in the one under the hood and my manual says it's under the instrument panel, but I can't find the fuse box.

I will be happy just to find the fuse box and get my fog lights working again.

Could you please give me any advise on how to find this fuse box.

That definitely should have worked if you understood my directions.

The FOG fuse is in the under dash fuse panel, literally under the bottom of the dash behind the lever that opens the hood.

Just to be clear, by cutting the wire in pin 4 of the headlight stalk connector and capping off the harness end of the wire, this wire is just removed from the circuit. Then tapping (splicing) the end of the cut wire from pin 4 to the wire in pin 13 will allow them to turn on with the parking lights, low beams or high beams.
Thanks
