Fog light issue

[harley]

I have a 2000 SE with a NB2 front end. I hooked up the fogs and they aren't working for some reason. Bulbs are new. Checked fuse under dashboard. Replaced relay behind driver side headlight and still no go. Could it be a bad switch? It's a fog/cruise combo. Cruise works but the light for the fog switch doesn't illuminate. Any way I could test it?


Help me!

Ya got one of these?



Best way to check the switch and a great way to see of where you are and aren't getting voltage.

If the light on the switch dose not light up, it is possible no juice into the switch. So ... the problem is up stream from there.

I'm a noob when it comes to wiring, which would I check to test the switch?

Make sure your headlights are on low beam.

That was pretty interesting. Is that from one of the Mazda Tech manuals? I've been thinking about buying one for my new 2003. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm handy if I have some good reference materials. The Tech manuals are expensive, so are they worth it?

Yeah, I just hijacked your thread... Sorry about that...

they are. Is it possible the car doesnt recognize the headlights are on?
