Fog Light Wiring...

Ok so below im going to list a portion of the Teg Tip for the Fog light wiring through the defroster switch.

Rewiring Foglights.

The cool thing about this method is that you’ll wire the fog switch to another switch so that you won’t have to turn any lights on and cause your interior light (radio, clock) to dim during the day. You’ll be concerned only with the fogs switch and the rear defogger switch right next to it.

"Disconnect the battery.

O.K., both switches will pop out towards you with a screw driver. The fog switch has five wires, the defogger has six.

First, find the red/yellow wire in the FOGS switch. Cut this wire about 2" away from the switch.

Now take the cut wire that’s STILL attached to the switch and splice it into the black/yellow wire of the Defogger switch.

You’re done. Now cover up everything with electrical tape including the other parts of the cut red/yellow wire of the fogs switch and see if everything works. The fogs should come on/off independently of the defogger switch which means you DON’T have to mess with the defogger switch ever. Just turn off/on the fogs button anytime and they WILL turn off automatically when the ignition is off.

is this wire that i am splicing into just the live 12v wire? i just dont want to be running my defroster constantly on, and i dont want my defroster to come on everytime i turn on my foglights.

Read what you just quoted…

"The fogs should come on/off independently of the defogger switch which means you DON’T have to mess with the defogger switch ever. Just turn off/on the fogs button anytime and they WILL turn off automatically when the ignition is off. "

You are tapping into the 12V SWITCHED power wire.

The Defrost does NOT have to be on to have the Fog lights on… you are tapping into the Power Source of the switch, not the Defrost Switch itself.

thank you thats what i wanted to clarify that that was the 12v Power,

Yep yep.

As I said it’s 12V Switched, not 12V Constant. So neither Defrost nor Fogs will work without Ignition power.

alright thanks so much!

6

why not just take the power supply wire from the fog light switch and splice into 12 v ignition on wire. that worked for me to do the same thing

7

Thats also possible as well it seems, thanks for the tip!

The fuse box also has “free pins” terminals for power acc., one of them is a switched source, [hot in run] no need to put an extra load on the defrost switch. 94

Sorry to sound like an idiot but how would I go about wiring that? Splice the power to that spot on the fuse box?

Does this work for a 93?
