FOG LAMP MOD '98 MOUNTAINEER - COMPLETE
After searching and reading several posts here, I tried the "clipped relay" fog lamp modification. This was to simply remove one of the outer two pins, either no.1 or no. 2, from the relay and put it back in. Perhaps I'm a dope when it comes to relays, but after removing first the no. 2 pin - NO LUCK. I then removed the no. 1 pin as well - NO LUCK. Here's the kicker - the stupid fog lamps still work the same way with NO RELAY AT ALL.???
Now, my '98 mounty has the Power Distribution box just inside the fender on the left-hand side. Very easy to get to. The REAR-MOST relay is suppossed to be the fog lamp relay. That is in fact the relay I cut up. What's the deal? It sure sounds like enough folks have the fog lamps on with only the parking lights and/or the high beams on. Where did I go wrong?
For the record, this is the same relay as the one detailed in another post here with photos and everything.
F57B-14B192-AA
Two parrallel large pins
Three parrallel smaller pins - now just one in the center HA-HA!
Please offer some help if you can
