need help: foglight indicator - where are the wires?

You sure got a lot of clusters CTScott.

Looking around my office I see Seven (plus there is one in each of my 3 Yaris). I think I have a problem and my someday appear on one of those reality shows about hoarders.

haha I would think so too, so be ready with your own show.lol

ok thanks, i am hopeful it is the correct one, because i just tested it from each of the two green wires from the switch as well as the blue (esuse), and nothing happened.

i am hopeful because I am unsure that the clusters here are made in Japan. We have our own Sta. Rosa, Laguna plant, and at best I would assume we import those from Thailand (due to costs).

if the green/blue wires are not a good source of 12V, do you think I should get a live 12V line from the battery terminal directly? and if that works, then you know how my next question goes, where do i get that 12V from?

TIA Scott, youve been always very helpful, and I can still recall the days when I kept bugging you for the correct wiring of the passenger door lock switch.

You will either need to measure the switch wires with a volt meter to see which one goes from 0 to 12 volts when the switch is pressed (if any actually does) or you can connect to the wire on the other side of the relay, which actually brings the 12 volts to the fog light bulbs.

ok i did what you said, and connected the yellow wire, D2-7, and i also measured the blue wire on the fog switch, it actually gives 12V to when foglights get switched on. it didnt work. both the green wires gave 12V when the park light switch was turned on, it also didnt work in firing up the foglight indicator on the gauge. is it possible to have indicators in the cluster but no LED for that?

BTW, the factory-wired esuse foglamp was included in the harness. the wires the arrow point to come from the switch and are attached to the harness (thick one, in the middle) and somehow finds it way toward the relay (blue Denso relay on the right side, encircled) and also to the outside fusebox (probably)/engine bay, so there's really no route for me toward the esuse fog light install instructions.

FYI, the items on the relays, etc, either say Denso Made in Japan or Denso Made in Thailand. So it gets even worse knowing my VIN tag says Made in Philippines. Now we dont know if the wiring follows the other Toyota plants and which one if it does.. Help...

That is interesting that the Esuse fogs are actually wired through the OEM fog wiring, rather than with the Esuse aftermarket harness. The presence of the blue relay on the right tells me that the foglight indicator is already hooked up, so it does appear that it is not active on your cluster.

hi jcboy what model and variant is your car?

Old thread revival.

A few months ago I installed some aftermarket fog lights on my daughter's 2010 LB. I wired them up to be DRLs. They come on and off automatically with the ignition. I installed a switch to the left of the steering wheel in case there was a need to turn them off. However my daughter occasionally turns them off by accident. So I figured I would come up with a way to use the OEM indicator light so she could easily tell if they were on. This thread made it easy.
