fog lights wont work May 08, 2005, 04:24:21 PM last night I finished the engine swap in my 88 TC and also change the fog lights, the right side worked and the left side didnt so I looked further into why it wasnt working. well what I found was the ground terminal was rusty so I changed the end and the lights started to flicker and then they both starrted to flicker and inside the car there was a clicking sound then they stopped working. I checked all of the fuses and didnt find any bad ones. anyone have any ideas? thanks Graham Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #1 – May 08, 2005, 07:22:01 PM possible that the headlight switch or the foglight switch took a dump Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #2 – May 08, 2005, 08:00:18 PM Um, i know kind of off topic, but did you swap in a 5.0? Quote Selected

Re: fog lights wont work Reply #5 – May 15, 2005, 11:29:04 AM If i remeber there is a relay for the fog lights. With All the clicking sound that you said you heard I'd say that is you problem. Eveytime I 've had a relay make that kind of sound it went out then or soon after. Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #6 – May 17, 2005, 09:16:01 PM that's also what I have been thinking, wich relay is it? and can I swap them around to see if that is the problem? thanks Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #7 – May 18, 2005, 12:11:53 AM theres no relay, power goes directly through the switches Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #8 – May 18, 2005, 01:57:44 AM yes there is a relay look at the pic of the wireing diagram Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #9 – May 18, 2005, 09:30:18 AM Not on 1987-88 Turbo Coupes...they're routed directly through the switch. Same thing with 1987-93 Mustang GT's. Both are notorious for frying switches and intermittent fog light problems. For the TC there is an excellent article here on how to solve the problem:http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/installing_headlight_relays.htm Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #11 – May 18, 2005, 09:14:35 PM so my problem is the switch huh.. no relay at all in my 88? I would really like to get them working again. Graham Quote Selected

Re: fog lights wont work Reply #13 – July 03, 2005, 12:13:15 AM follow-up: tested the foglight wiring that goes to the switch with a test light and I got no voltage with the headlight switch in the on position with the low beams on. any other ideas? Quote Selected
Re: fog lights wont work Reply #14 – July 03, 2005, 01:50:17 PM you try replacing the headlight switch? Quote Selected
