98 xj limited
i have searched and haven't really found nothig. i changed out the relay today hoping it would fix em but to no avail...... the light on the toggle isnt on, and the fogs dont light up..... any and all help would be appreciated

 

Is power getting to the lights? to the switch?

 

dont know.... dont have way to check

 

Are the other switches next to the fog light switch working. Like the rear wiper or the defroster? If non of them are working then your wiring has an issue

 

yup cig lighter, defroster, wipers ,and power pug all work

 

bump...........

 

Do you have access to a volt meter? You are gonna need one to check if there is power going to the switch and to see if power is going to the lights

 

No I don't. .....

 

Check both relays in fuse box under the hood and the blue 15amp fuse closest to passenger side fender too .... Both in fuse/relay box under the hood

 

Only have one relay ...... I also checked all 15 amp fuses in this box. The fuses are all gtg. ... But fogs still not working

 

Dumb question probably but the bulbs ok? I bought 2 new lamps with bulbs through eBay and the bulbs were junk, they kept blowing my 15a fuse, replaced with good bulbs and success for like 9 months now. Pretty sure my 2000 has 2 relays, will ck tomorrow. As someone else pointed out the switch might be bad too.

 

just checked the bulbs and they are both good and in tact

 

If the switch was bad would the fog light symbol be lit up? Cause its lit up, but when I hit the switch , the indicator light doesn't light up....

 

IIRC when my fog light switch died in my 98' it was very obvious, pull the switch and inspect it, I'm pretty sure it comes apart to service the bulb.

I found my old switch OE# 05080861AA. You need a small screwdriver with flat blade to unscrew the 2 bulbs. After the bulbs are out, you can bend the 2 tabs back carefully and pull the switch apart. The plastic shuttle that slides back and forth was burnt and melted on mine.

 

Messed around with the switch today, pulled it apart, pulled the spring out on the toggle itself and stretched it out some , Hooked it all back up and now the indicator light lights up when I switch to turn on so both light s are working on the switch, but the fogs still don't light up, Soo much closer ... But still no working fogs
