Independent Fog Light DIY please!

There is no wire in pin 3. See why this is confusing?

YOU CUT THE WRONG ONE

You were a molex too low, cut the green wire in the harness above it.

[philosophicaljt]

LOL. I did cut the wrong one. I needed to cut the green wire on the next connector up, LOL

[philosophicaljt]

yeah, I need to cut the green wire in pin 4, ABOVE this connector pictured here, LOL

[[SMAN]]

Yeah, look at the picture i posted with all the molexes, you'll see the one you need.

[philosophicaljt]

yup, got it, and cut it. Which side should I connect to 12v then? the side coming from pin 3, or pin 4?

[philosophicaljt]

posting pics now........



The side I am holding, or the other side?

[[SMAN]]

Pin 4, but first test the wires. At this point, your fog lights should not turn on at all. meter between pin 3 and ground, you should see +12v when the foglights should be on. And then check continuity on pin 4, it should show some resistance, but not much.

[philosophicaljt]

I think it would be the side coming from Pin4, but I want to be certain, and would a 9v battery be enough (for testing purposes?)

Kinda messy by the way: But its easier than it looks, lol.

[philosophicaljt]

back soon. And I have a pic of the meter reading somewhere...........

I wouldn't trust a 9V. The diagram shows a 10A fuse inline with that wire, which makes me think there there is some power to it, cause otherwise there would only be a 5A, so you need to tap it directly to a +12V power supply with a 10A fuse inline.

[philosophicaljt]

doesn't work.....kinda.

When connected to a 12v source, it comes on, but only when the headlights are on.

So I didn't do anythingnew, just a different way of doing the same thing.

odd.....

[[SMAN]]

Only when the low beams are on like before? or under any position other than off?
