that boy asad Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 My fog's on my 2001 ES300 are not working; it all started when i was trying to modify my fog's so it can be on with just the parking lights, but i screwed up and i think i shorted something. I checked the fuses and there ok, i opened the relay and it looks fine (but im not really sure if its bad or i need to replace it), and i changed the bulbs to new ones... but still NOTHING?!?!?! i need help... please tell me what could have went wrong, what i need to do, and how much will it cost me? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Does the relay make any noise when you turn the switch on and off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that boy asad Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Does the relay make any noise when you turn the switch on and off? when i turn on/off the fogs w/the switch it does NOT make any noise on the relay, i even placed my hand on it while doing so, i felt nothing...

SKperformance Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You need a multi meter to see if you are getting a trigger from the switch make sure the headlights are turned on to activate to fog circuit when testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyiez Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 not to sound like a smartass, but i would of consulted a wiring diagram before i touched the first wire. remember wiring diagrams aren't not only for fixing problems but preventing them as well.

SKperformance Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Just to make sure you are testing it with the headlights on as well right? There is no power to the foglights/relay without them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no power to the foglights/relay without them on. yes... i tested it with the headlights on and thr is no powering coming from the switch, i tried to direct wire it without the relay/bypassing the switch, the fogs came on, but the wire started to become hot.
