Well i managed to get my hands at a oem fog light switch at a local pull a part some months ago. Well the question is that the switch has 6 wires and i don't know which is for what?

I've search around here and i found this

1 3
--4
--5
2 6

#1- ground for the ON bulb.
#2- ground for the illumination bulb (this ground actually varies depending on the brightness of your dash)
#3- +12 volts when key is on ACC (powers both ON light and relay)
#4- +12 volts for illumination bulb when dash is illuminated
#5- out to relay
#6- same as above (can be used for another relay)


but how do i know which wire is which?
i mean the wires don't have #1 #2 and so on. lol


well, i want to wire them directly to the battery, using that switch to turn them on. which means i need to use # 1,3,4.
just need help telling which is which.

thanks for any help.

This picture might help:

Its the plug for the fog light switch. You can kinda see what color the wires are in each position.

Don't know if this will help, but I made this many years ago when I installed a second factoty fog switch for my driving lights.

On the two wires that say 'dimmer or fog light picture' I just tapped into one of the other switches that was the same color.

Sorry, this is off topic but where did you get those fogs from?

jhari, thanks for that diagram, it looks like it will come in handy!!

and MC2 i got the fog lights from a local pull a part. (u pull it junkyard). I was surprised they were still there because that had already taken the bumper.

Hey, im having the a related problem, ok so from the picture that you have from the plug in the dash, which color goes where?

[allwheeldriving]

woo reviving old threads lol another hijack my 99 brighton has a connector plugged into one of the switch "blocks" i picked up a fog switch from the wrecker and the wires on the harness from the switch i got are the same as the one already in the car, or atleast very similar from the quick glance i had when i was installing my tach, could anyone tell me if this would be for the fog switch or a cruise control switch i know both those switches are on the left side in my moms forester.

My cruise switch has a brown harness connector, FWIW.

[allwheeldriving]

ya took a few hours and figured out the harness using a switch a got from the wrecker. dont have a test light at the moment so not to sure if the switch in place is powered or not

So you use the white with yellow stripe wire or the top yellow wire for a source of power for another set of fogs? I'm trying to wire up a second set of fogs I've had laying around and I'm having difficulties lol
