MI Fog Light Switch Wiring
OK,
Fog lights installed Wiring under hood (fuse box) installed Relay inserted and fuse in designated spot Resistor removed from switch Have no clue how to hook up the 3 wires coming from the switch. Black with metal u-shape connector Green with socket connector Red with some funny attachment I've looked at the PDF and searched both forums, but I'm confused! I'm assuming the black is for ground, the green wire looks like it just gets inserted in the connector under the steering wheel and the red has some funny attachment? I want the fogs to turn on with the low beams (OEM) and the PDF says to connect the red to 3 and the green next to it in 4. There are already wires in the socket though. Do I just grab some quick splices and connect the wires or what? By the way the wires look, it would seem its plug and play. And what am I connecting wires to by the shifter (M/T) Step 7? Please help |

One on them is for the ground (the metal u-shape connector)
and they do actually hook up to either 3 or 4.. i cant remember but what I did was actually GENTLY pull out on of the wires (you might need a pin to unlatch the bottom) then that wire plugs into what came with the MI (the funny attachment). Then that end connects back where you originally got it. Thats the best I remember. btw what Resistor did you remove from the switch? |

I removed the resistor in the switch housing per the PDF so the illumination doesn't stay on.
So if I read correctly, your saying to remove the wires in the 3 and 4 spot. The wire removed from spot 3 gets connected to the (switch) red wire with the funny attachment and the green wire gets inserted into spot 4? So that will leave spot 3 open and the original wire going into spot 4 hanging loose...??? |

OK. I figured it out... I just didn't use the switch and just pulled the wires from the connector (3 & 4) and connected them together. Now the fogs come on with the lows and the indicator on the dash lights up as well.
