Hello all
Im preping my mk2 for the nct and my fog lamp seems not to be working, bulb is fine os I am assuming that it's the switch as it doesnt stay in when pressed even though ful lights are on .
Any other sugestions welcome as Im not great with electricals.[what are you good at!!!!] :?
Cheers
Brian

Fuse?
Have a multimeter? Check at the bulb for 12v, check at the switch for 12v, check continuity between switch and bulb, work your way back.

As above. It could be the switch. Even it doesn't stay in ones pressed in the lights should come on imo. As Steve said a multimeter should point to right direction. Would mk2 bumper not pass?

Thanks lads will try to have a look at it this evening ,don't know if the switch stays in or if it lights up when in use .
Deivis it's the rear fog lamp ,no lamps in the front bumper.

looked at it last night fuse blown replaced it but still no light ! :? I noticed also that ther's no light in the centre of the dash and headlight tilt switch and illumanation level switch not working ,radio has picture but no sound [reminds me of the wife!] :lol: alarm sets but does not ring so am thinking of bringing it to an auto electrian to do some trouble shooting as it seems to big a job for me .
Main thing for now is the fog lamp as I need it for nct.
Cheers
