need help: foglight indicator - where are the wires?

[cyberfrogg]

oooohhhhh! No, I didnt do that. I just inserted the wires with the existing ones. Blue into pin 3 and green to pin 4. Was I supposed to remove the existing wire in pin 3? what would that do?

The pin 4 connection is the big issue I believe. Only the OEM wire should be connected there.

Try this:

1. Disconnect both of your wires from Pins 3 and 4.

2. Pop the pin out of pin 3 (or, if your harness just has bare ends, snip the wire going to pin 3, leaving an inch or so to connect to.

3. Connect one of your wires to one side of the snipped wire (harness side) and the other to the other side (connector side).

I tried doing this and it didn't work... My fog lights would not turn on. I snipped the original yellow wire in pin 3 and connected my green wire to it (so now the green wire is connected to pin 3 directly) and then I got my blue wire and connected it to the other piece of the yellow wire that was hanging.

this is what it looked like before:


And it looks something like this now:

(the black rectangle on the bottom just represents like the switch of the fogs...)

Did i do something wrong? Now that its wired like this my switch works just as its supposed to but my fog lights wont turn on at all anymore... =/

please help!

What do you mean by switch works just as it's supposed to? Do you mean that when you press the fog switch, the dash indicator comes on, but the lights don't?

The fog light symbol on the switch turns along with all my other interior lights, which is good. And when I press the switch, the little led indicator turns on as its supposed to. The only thing is the fog lights themselves dont turn on and therefore the symbol on the dash doesnt turn on. So the lights on the switch do what theyre supposed to do. Before I wired it this way, the little led would be on all the time (except for when I had my fogs in use). So in a sense, it was backwards. And now it works, but my fogs dont turn on...
