[curtis699909]

okay so my fog lights didnt work because they were all corroded so i bought new ones and new wireing but they still dont work ? any ideas??
its not the bulbs or fuse or bottom wiring .... what the hell could it be??

What car is it? Phase 1 or 2?

 

[curtis699909]

phase 1 .... there is no reason for them not working lol

My phase 1 had an interesting problem where the fogs wouldn't light up, but when you took them out, they lit up. It was very strange, try taking them out (but so they are still attached) and wiggle it and the wires about.
Also check the bulbs, fuses and relays.

Take them out. Fog lights are for losers and people who shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Fuse ? perhaps one of the metal arms snapped off in the female part of the connector (Mine's got this) Blown bulbs in lamps ?

Solution: Fit ducts !

Its not the bulbs there new, its not the lights there new, its not the wiring there new and its not the fuses .................. so what else is there ??

It's likely to be the connections to the lamps. They are prone to corrosion problems. I took mine apart and carefully cleaned every connection with small hand drill for model making and cleaned them all with contact cleaner then carefully applied a film of copper grease to all the exposed metal contacts before putting them all back together. It took a while to do but they work fine now. Mine is a phase 1. My Nissan taxi had the same problem but the contacts got that badly corroded that the wires burnt. I got rid of it last year so whoever has it now will have to sort it.
