Trying to help a friend with his 200 series. He wants to activate his aftermarket Baja Designs Fog Lights with his factory fog light switch on the left hand lever. This way they'll shut off when he turns the vehicle off and turn on. Here's what I've found so far:
- Tried to tap the "FR FOG" 15A fuse inside the fuse box. When using an add-a-fuse in this spot I've found the circuit is permanently in the ON position regardless of the position of the fog light switch.
- He already has the aftermarket fog lights installed and wired up to his sPod Bantam, so determining which plug is for the factory fog light is a challenge. Additionally, we're using the factory signal to activate a trigger on the sPod Bantam, so we're not tapping the circuit directly to power the fog lights. There's a connector tucked under both sides of the bumper that's a maroon color with two wires (green and white) which I assumed are the factory fog connector. I tried testing the connections with a multimeter, but neither are getting any voltage regardless of the fog light switch position.
- I pulled the FR FOG relay and checked resistance across terminals 3-5. The resistance is normal, so the relay appears to be good.
I went ahead and tapped the fogs into the lower headlight fuse in the fuse box, so now they come on when the headlights are on, but it would be nice to have them tapping the factory fog lights.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the factory fog plug so that I can wire these up correctly? Thanks!
