Fog Light Problem! Please HELP!!!

Cornflake79 · 09-02-2006, 03:50 PM

Hey Guys, i took your advice and installed my fogs myself. I completed it all and it came down to the moment of truth today...drum roll! NOTHING. My fogs arent working! i tried to check everything but cant figure it out. U can see i the pics that one connecter isnt attacted to anything and i'm not sure if its supposed to be. Also the fog lights on symbol is showing up on my gauges if that helps. Can anyone figure it out from these interior pics. Thanks!!!

Every connector should be hooked up from the light harnest. Sounds like you got one of the single wires that plug into main harnest that shows on the instrument panel. Does the switch button illuminate or glow when lights are on? That is what the other wire that plugs in is for. Check your ground wires? From those pics I cant tell which connector isnt hooked up. Refer to and check steps 19-23,35,and 36-46.http://collegehillshonda.com/instruc...oglightkit.pdf

Its the SWITCH HARNESS 6-PIN CONNECTOR that isnt connected to anything. And yes the button luminated.

Can not tell what you hooked up and didn't hook up. Check that the fuse is in slot #6. And check the wires harness on the fogs to make sure that every thing is tight, The connector behind the washer fluid gave me a hard time(didn't want to seat properly).

type-si · 09-02-2006, 05:49 PM

you shouldn't put all the pics in 1 piece.. it's hard to see.. did you get your kits from k2motors?

Cornflake79 · 09-02-2006, 07:44 PM

Hey thanks for the replies. Havent figured it out yet. Here are some bigger pics to see whats goin on. I hope i dont have to take my bumper off again but if i have to i have to. I got the kit off ebay from a magautoparts, Its OEM

acetech808 · 09-02-2006, 11:30 PM

hey cornflake79,
do you have access to volt/ohm meter or a test light? You may have a bad relay. If you want PM me I'll help you Toubleshoot.

fa1 · 09-02-2006, 11:50 PM

You said you had one connector not connected? From your pics it looks to be the 1 pin blue connector. If it is find the connector on the car, its taped under the steering wheel and it's blue also.

Did you remember to plug in the fuse also?

The one Plug(BLUE) that is not connected in the pics you are showing, looks to be for other Acc.

You said the switch is lit and the light on the dash is on so it look as if it is one up front. Did you connect the plugs when you put the bumper back on?

Cornflake79 · 09-03-2006, 10:58 AM

Still nothing. Took the bumper off again this morning. Heres a few more pics. I guess i got a dud oem kit. I feel like an idiot cause i know its probably something very easy.

Cornflake79 · 09-03-2006, 11:02 AM

Oh yeah, the third pic is of the connection behind the washer fluid. I didnt want to take that out again, it was way too hard to get back on.

**Silver8th** · 09-03-2006, 11:13 AM

hmm. You don't even have to take the washer tank out. Did you print out the instructions I posted earlier? The one by the washer tank could be the culprit.

Cornflake79 · 09-03-2006, 11:42 AM

Why could that one be the culprit? its connected, what could be goin wrong Silver8th?

**Silver8th** · 09-03-2006, 11:47 AM

Ground wires maybe? There are 2 of them. 5 pin connector
Also your lights have to be on low beam for them to work.

Cornflake79 · 09-03-2006, 11:52 AM

Got them bolted in and tight as a motherf*+#er

**Silver8th** · 09-03-2006, 11:57 AM

Step #41 ...plug 6 pin connector into fuse box see pic.
page 9 and 10

Cornflake79 · 09-03-2006, 12:12 PM

Done and done. Just checked the connection behind the washer fluid and theres no power getting to it

acetech808 · 09-03-2006, 09:18 PM

Hey cornflake,
turn the head lights on then turn on the switch for the fog lights. do you hear the relay click? Does your set up have a relay? get a long insulated wire. connected one end to the + side of the battery. touch the other end to the brown wire connector with the single blue wire under the the dash. if everything is connected correctedly the lights should come on. if that works then you may have to jumper past the relay.

inline4 · 09-05-2006, 12:01 AM

dude, you plugged the relay into the wrong position. look at the pic of the relay, it's not connected to any wires.
