S40 Fog Light problems
Hi,
My 1999 S40 is playing silly monkeys with the fog lights. If I press the fog light switch within the first 20 minutes of a journey they come on (light comes on the dash and the fog light come on). If I press the switch after 20 minutes the dash light and the fog lights don't work. This is really annoying as I hit the fog patches 30 minutes into my daily commute..... I have my lights on properly (not on daylight running). Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved! |

The first thing that springs to mind is the relay is on its way out.

This will sound like a stupid question - but where is the relay housed?
I will check it out and replace it incase it is that. |

Try with the DRL's on, depending on what position your light switch is in the stalk/switches operate slightly differently.

Hi,
My headlights are on the correct settings. I have recently checked the switch pack, bulbs and fuses - all ok. So I am left with the relay and the harness as possible causes. Based on the fact that they occasionally work, I think it is probably a relay issue. I also now know where my relays are.............. I just don't know which one is the correct one for the fog lights. Any ideas as to which is the correct relay? |
