Fog switch wiring trouble

[mannix_10]

ok so i had ALOT of trouble figuring out which wire goes where with my switch....i finally have the backlight working for the switch, they go off when high beams are put on. however, i have one thing which i dont think is right. when i turn my lights off, i can just press the fog light switch to turn my headlights on.....strange. if i turn my headlights on with the proper control on the steering wheel, and then press the fog button, the fogs come on (well only 1, im guessing 1 is out...?). please advise if ive done anything wrong and what to do. thanks in advance

ok.. they are supposed to turn off when you have your high beams on. there must be a wire that is wired wrong in the switch. Search and find the wiring for the fogs. Its here somewhere.

i have the wiring diagram, it doesnt mean sh@t to me as im dumb with wiring. ive tried 14 different combinations with the wiring now, and this is the best ive got. i know they go off when the highs are turned on, i didnt say that was a problem. the problem is i can turn my headlights on by just pressing the button...ill keep trying different combinations as everyone can only direct me towards the wiring diagram, which doesnt help me at all. theres only so many combinations

try this.... you know where you plugged in the fogs to the car, above the fuses by the driver's feet? There are like 4 different plugs you can plug them into, try plugging it into the other sockets...

There's one socket, that allows the fogs to come on at anytime the car is on.... whether the high's are on or not.. thats the one mine are plugged into. if you cant figure it out by this weekend, ill take pics.. (my car's at home, and im going home this weekend)

having them turn off when the highs come on isnt an issue, im fine with that. im not fine with the headlights turning on when i simply press the fog button, and also the fact that the right fog is out...

[StoobyMcDooby]

no, thats what im saying.... try plugging them into other sockets... just try it.

run the power to the fog relay via your low beams. Then, when the high beams turn on, the fogs will turn off with the low beams.

^^^ in the dash fuse box theres an empty space the the top that only gets power when the ignition is on, theres also another that only gets power when the lights turn on

he's telling the truth bro just look at it and try each plug.. takes all of about two seconds to test each plug out.. might aswell knock that test out before you start ripping into the wiring..

ok i switched the plugs around. everything works as it should, ie backlight for switch, fogs come on when button is pressed (although the right is still out, maybe needs a new bulb?), fogs turn off when high beams are turned on, and fogs turn off when headlights are turned off. however, when i then turn the car off, i leave the switch pushed in with headlights off so fogs arent on either, but the headlights turn on when i turn the car off.....is my wiring wrong??

no,your headlights can come on while your car is off.thats normal.looks like you got it.

i dont think u understand what i mean. i have my car running with the lights on with the switch pushed in so the fogs are on too. when i wanna turn the car off, i first turn the headlights off from the turny thing attached to the steering wheel while leaving the fog switch pushed in, which obviously turns the headlights off as well as the fogs. but then when i turn the ignition off, the headlights come back on even tho the headlight switch has them to off (the fog switch is pushed in). obviously there is a wire wrong somewhere with the switch, as if i forget to push the button out before i leave the car, the headlights stay on along with the back light for the air conditioning buttons...

if a video is needed i will take one and post it
