wiring fog light switch
It aint over just yet fellas, run to the fills it's the electrical numpty
I have four wires to connect to my rear fog light switch.
they are:
red
black
blue yellow
blue red
red I believe is permenant live, black is earth, blue/yellow goes to fog light, blue/red is headlights.
Here is my problem, my fog switch only has 3 connections
positive in - red/blue? as I take it you shouldn't be able to have fog on without lights
feed out to light - blue/yellow
an earth - black ?
So what is the red(permenant live) for? does it need connecting and if so where to? logic says to the +'ve in but how will that affect
things?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
Nigel

Red is normally side lights isn't it?
Black is earth (for the fog light indicator lamp if its built into the switch)

sorry stand corrected, red is indeed side lights
so should the blue/red and red just connect to the input +'ve of the switch so if either are on the fog can be on?
Thanks

The foglight can come on with side lights. Alternatively if you wire it to come on with headlights make sure you tap into the feed to the relay or it
will end up flashing on/off according to dip/main.

thanks for that, so would the easiest thing to do to connect the red for the side lights so i can have the fog on with the side lights and leave the
red and blue disconnected?
cheers

Generally Rear Fog/s are only to come on when Headlights are on.
Front fogs come on when Sidelights are on...

yeah I'd agree that they should only come one with the main lights and not the sides
