need help: foglight indicator - where are the wires?
Hi all. I'm looking for the wires that turn on the foglights symbol in the instrument panel (when lit, it's on the left of the speedometer). Where is it located and what wire is it? Thanks.

Or, if you're installing aftermarket fogs without the stalk switch, you can fire the indicator directly by supplying 12V to the red wire on Pin 7 of the D2 connector on the combination meter.

Hi CTScott. Where is this D2 connector located? Yes, I have aftermarket fogs without stalk switch.
1NZYaris: Do I just need to add power to PIN3 and then the indicator will light up? Last edited by yarisugi; 04-06-2009 at 02:44 AM. |

no you do not need to add power to pin 3 it is already there.

By the way, I believe that Pin 3 on the stalk connector only works if you are using a fog light switch equipped stalk. |

Hmmm. After reading the DIY ESUSE foglight install it looks like it's possible to use that stalk connector even if you don't have a stalk for fogs...? But what is pin 3 and pin 4 and how would you hook it up to the existing wires that came with the kit?

So, you are definitely correct that the stalk is not required, but the relay in that position, or the external relay wired through that position would be required. The kit that I bought included an external relay, so I wired the indicator directly to the combination meter. Here is the EWD for the fogs, which shows pin 3 and 4 on the upper left. The Fog light relay (at D46) is at the upper right. Its output feeds the fog lights and the combination meter indicator (center). Last edited by CTScott; 04-07-2009 at 07:43 AM. |

the diagrames above is for useing the switch supplied with the kit .
if you want to use the factory combo switch all you need is the relay (factory , or aftermarket) to plug into factory position as per diagrames. |

So, let's see if I understand this. If I wanted to use the factory stalk instead of the little button that goes into the console, then all I need to do is wire up the fog lights, put the wire into the fuse box in the engine bay, and then put the relay where it's supposed to go? So I wouldn't even need that extra wiring harness for the cabin? If so, that's fantastic.

Oh thank God. I was reading all the DIYs for the cabin wiring and I was thinking to myself, there's gotta be a way simpler method to doing this. And there is, apparently :D

Ah then I guess I dont have it. =/
Im having trouble with my switch. The light indicator on the switch turns is on ALL the time except when I turn on my fogs. As soon as I turn them on, the little rectangle light on the switch turns off.. Its very annoying. I plugged in the wires into pin 3 and pin 4 of the D4 connector.. |

what do you mean they should theoretically not be switched? I'm sorry, I'm a noob at all this..
Could I just connect one of the wires to Pin 7 of the D2 connector on the combination meter like you said? |

Actually, looking back up at what 1NZ posted, when you are using the console switch, it gets connected across pins 3 and 4, so it acts the same as the stalk switch. The key is that the OEM pin 3 wire is pulled from the stalk connector and the console fog light switch inserts between the OEM pin 3 wire and the connector. Pin 4 does not get touched or connected to on the connector. If you just "tapped" your switch onto pins 3 and 4 then that would explain the issue you are having. |
