Post by: Mundy on May 06, 2008, 02:59:43 PM

If 'aftermarket' this may help - basic bosch layout : http://www.classictruckshop.com/clubs/e ... glites.htm (http://www.classictruckshop.com/clubs/earlyburbs/projects/bosch/foglites.htm)

If same switch as my 98 xj I had a similar problem with the stock fog lights (its a known issue with the switch) Chrysler didn't do a recall but produced a beefed up version charging about 50 squids a go!!! I stripped
out the switch, cleaned the contacts & so far so good - If the illumination light is lit on your switch it's unlikely that the switch is the problem? I beleive they remedied the problem on our years by adding a relay as the earlier models without, couldn't take the voltage/amperage through the switch alone?
Good idea to check it out with a multimeter if you have one - silly question but have you checked that the bulbs haven't blown :-(

Haven't yet, but will do tomorrow, have taken it off-road last sunday so that may be the cause?
