Hi there,
Just a question about fog light.
I bought my 95 FTO GR last week, but i noticed that the fog light
is working but the light is very week.
Then I took out the fog light to have a look,
I saw that just the small globes were working,
but the H3 globes didn't work.
Does anyone knows where's the problem.
THANKS

I tried that button, but still not working
I am pretty sure that the H3 globes are working,
because i tried with another car.
but just don't know why it just doesn't light up,
when i put it back to the fog light,
even i press any button in the car.

Hi,
Have you trid to take the dash cover out and see if the plug that plugs to the fog light button is in place?
It may be a simple case of the plug not being pluged in.
Have a look at that first.
And make sure take the bulb out and make sure that the bulbs are not blown.
You will have to look at it carefully as some times it is a very minor broken wire in the bulb and it still won't work.
If not then it's probably the wire problem...probably will need to trace the wire and see if it's broken or some thing any where...otherwise you will need an electricien to have a look at it.
Hope this helps.

take the switch out 100 bucks you will see its melted a bit.
The fog switch is a multi switch, so basically the side lights turn on still, but the function to the main H3 bulbs on the switch is stuffed.
Try pressing the switch hard over and over again, and sometimes you can get the main fogs to work.
Im on my third switch now, and it definately is the switch, get another one from kempys in new zealand, it cost me 60 bucks, remember to ask for the plug which goes into the switch as well, as most likely thats a bit melted as well.
And dont put any globes higher than 55Ws as that causes the switch to burn out.
