Front fog lamp relay

[mk1chopper]

Hi all, just got some front fog lamps, the 2 button switch and the relay, pluged everything in but the front fog lamps arnt working, i've put the 2 7.5 amp fuses in, and im sure its not the bulbs as i fitted a new one to one of the lamps, i think it might be the relay, is the k8 relay different to the k4, as i think i have 2 k4 relays and this might be my problem.

cheers chris

is k4 the headlights, cant remember, if so then yeh relay is same.

it may just be the switch, as this was problem with mine. i just opened it and cleaned it.

Chris ive just put my K4 relay in place of K8 and they still work fine!

Try swapping them on yours,if no luck it could be the switch.

Give me a shout if it is the switch as i think ive got another one here!

I swapped the relays over and both work ok, the light on the dash comes on, but i'll check the switch out tomorrow, fingers crossed thats all it is.

K4 and K8 relays are different, (K8 has a diode to prevent backfeed to the panel lights IIRC), but are interchangeable for test purposes.
The dash warning light for the front fogs works from the left foglight end of fuse 29. If fuse 29 is removed, the dash light should go out.
This means that all the control circuits are OK, and you have two seperate faults between the outer end of fuse 29 and the LH foglamp, and the outer end of fuse 30 (assuming it isn't blown) and the RH foglamp.

All fixed, the connectors were just dirty, bit of wd40 and all is well.
