Hi, I am new to this forum and just picked up a 02 Exlporer Sport loaded which has factory fog lights in the lower bumper. I saw them working two weeks ago prior to purchase. Now they are not. I have poured through the manual. There is a Auto light delay selection on the rear mirror not explained in the manual. I was looking at that since I have exhaust most areas.
I checked the fog light fuse under the hood and it is ok. Also pulled and continuity is good with 12v on the pins. Tried all positions of the headlamp switch etc. Looked for posible dash fuses problem in the side fuse panel as well but nothing.
NOTE: This beast has a sensor in which the headlights come on by themselves and go off on their own as well. I saw that happen going into the garage. Also the LED on the dash switch does NOT come on at all. Leading me to believe there is a power issue to the switch. Is there a relay also part of this circuit which I have yet to identify. I have not had a full day to trouble shoot this any further but will try again tomorrow. But both bulbs cannot be blown and LED would come on regardless of the bulbs themselves. I could look for power at the bulb but with not LED on I very much doubt that could be the problem.
Anyone with quick pointers into this. Dozens of thread in a seach on updating moding etc here but trouble shooting was not seen. I may need to get schematics down the road for this.
