93 si fog light install problems
today, i was going to put the relay in (done) and install the switch. I ran into a major problem - i absolutely cannot find the harness for the switch. i ran my hand all up in the wires, and found two other harnesses that are not them. any other suggestions?

The harness is behind the tweeter and down in that hole. It should be wrapped up in a bundle of wires. You just have to dig.

My favorite question is.....


Ya Sure??

YES I AM SURE!

Remember in the post, and when I told you on AIM that the switch is out of a 5G???

Not a 4G??

Meaning it will not plug into each other. You are going to have to splice some wires.

I don't remember.

It's one of the black ones and one of the red ones.

I can't remember what red one and I couldn't find it in my notes. Your best bet is to hook up a meter and see which one is pulling a reading.

You want to splice those two wires together and the fogs will stay on all the time. You are gonna have to see what wires work for the switch. I couldn't get it figured out.

this is what I had written down.

RED/GRN -> +12v for illumination on switch
BLK -> illumination ground, switch ground
RED/YEL -> +12v for switch


got it?

those are for the car harness.

You have to figure out what does what on the switch. That is what I could never figure out.

yeah, i know.....

what wires do you have to splice together so it'll be like the fog light switch is in the "on" position all the time?

ok


if you want to keep the fog lights on at all times with the headlights.... wouldn't it make sense to connect the wires in the car?

Throw the switch out the friggin window.

When you connect the 12v power wired with the ground it will complete the circuit causing the lights to come on.

That way.... you have no switch. Your fogs will just turn on when you turn the lights on.
