Fog light problem.

[da-bushwick-kid]

whats going on people ... i have a problem with the factory fog lights on my 2000 explorer limited. i have checked every thing on the dam truck and can not understand why them dam things wont cut on.. i have checked the bulbs , fuse, even ended up changing the switch on the dash board still they wont cut on... and then today i went and bought a new relay and still they wont power on the reason for me getting the relay is because i put a 12 volt tester to the fog lamp plug and saw that no power was coming out of it...... so is their any body out their that can help me be for i just rip them out my bumper

Have you checked both relays? Do you have the headlights on? This link has pics of the relays: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60518&highlight=fog+lamp+relays

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the lighting section.

yeah i put on the head lights checked on low beam and for the hell of it i checked them on high beams and with just the parking lamps still no juice.... i know where one of the relays are in the power distribution box but i don't know where the other one is..**** i didn't know their was 2 of them .....

Check out post one from the link. Relay 2 and 3

ok i will check them tomorrow .. would i have to change both, and how will i know if the relays are even bad?

 

[da-bushwick-kid]

replaced both of those relays and once again no go for the fog lights i guessing its not ment to be or the problem is deeper then what i thought if their is any other way to get them dam things working please let me know

It could be as simple (yet difficult) as a corroded or broken wire between the switch and the lights. Are you getting power to the switch?

 

[da-bushwick-kid]

yeah powers going to the switch but no power to the lines feeding the fog lights....i am at my wits end on this on... i mean i don't need the fog lights that much but its just really bugging me you know.....

relay number two is for the reverse lights and i changed number 3 and still no luck
