Fog lights In-op 1997 Legacy - Please Help.

[EgoTripster]

I cant get the fog lights to work.

 

Bulbs look good, Fuse is good.

 

The fog light button lights up (on dashboard), but the actual fog lights dont.

 

Yes, I know you have to have the headlights on.

 

Any suggestions how to fix? is there a relay? if so where?

 

 

Thanks,

There better be a relay. Check your owners manual for relay locations. Probably one o the ones in the main fuse/relay box under the hood.

 

How do you figure that the bulbs "look" good? Have you replaced one or both of them with known good bulbs?

Yes there should be a relay in the cabin above your left foot under the dash attached to the side of a gray wire junction box. It's about as round as a quarter and maybe 1.5" long if my memory serves. Also check the main wire that passes through the firewall. It has a plug up around the brake pedal arm under the dash, possible it has come loose. There is also wires that go to other wires in that junction that attach with vampire clips so it knows when power is to the low beams and high beams and throws the relay accordingly.

 

I've installed a couple of light sets in a 95 and a 97. If you need a wiring schematic let me know and I'll see if I can dig one up.

 

I'd consider a change out or testing at least one of the bulbs before sticking your head up under the dash.
