February 10, 201411 yr My front and rear fog lights have give up, the fuse int blown, also my dial isn't lit up either, any help please
February 10, 201411 yr I would check the earth mate and the resistors, another common thing that happens is people force the wrong bulbs into the headlights and rear lights that can also make the lights work but stop fog or break lights from working so I would check those too if you have not long bought the car. And welcome to S.O.C
February 10, 201411 yr Author Only just bought it, my 1st subaru, will check all that ta matey, they was workin then just stopped ????
February 10, 201411 yr Wotcha and welcome - as the fuse has not blown that would rule out a wire shorting to earth somewhere so echo what Gambit has said check your connections
February 10, 201411 yr Welcome to the club. My front fog stopped working, when I checked the blade connectors both had green corrosive gunk on them, I cleaned them with Vinegar, yes fish and chip vinegar :) . Got all the gunk off and they were fine.
February 12, 201411 yr Author Thanks 4 the advice, lovin my subaru, wana get it in tip top condition, beaut motors
February 12, 201411 yr youll be getting stuck in with the poor boys and angelwax in no time at all :P
February 12, 201411 yr Try hitting the light, good way to check dodgy connections honest Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
February 15, 201411 yr Author All connecters are gunk free, all bulbs are good, but the dials light fuse blows every time i put the lights on, the whole fog light circuit seems dead, not got a clue, re connected a green block 2 block n black under the steering column ??????
February 15, 201411 yr Hmmm sounds like a nightmare of a wiring job now then :( the connectors you're on about will be for the diagnostics explained a bit more Here
February 15, 201411 yr sounds like you have an earth somewhere if the fuse is blowing could be a worn wire behind the dash :(
February 15, 201411 yr Author Its a nitemare lol think its gonna b a garage job ! Thanks 4 the advice all
February 15, 201411 yr Author When i fitted my stereo there was random wires not connected and the instument brightness was disconected, i no which wires r which as thought they was sumit 2 do wit the stereo so taped em all.2getha !
February 15, 201411 yr No mate they should be left disconnected unless you are reading the error codes :) And I think a auto electrician is best bet if you're not confident enough to pull bits out and have a look around but still might end up needing one. I'm not great with stuff like that either :D
February 15, 201411 yr buddy - you cant go taping wires together - fair play having a go yourself but in future it would be worth you investing in a multimeter - they are so cheap now - just to check the voltages in the wires before you do - or just sort out a lamp with some tape and a bit of wire to see if it lights by connecting the wire to a bare piece of car metal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Professional-LCD-Digital-Multimeter-VoltMeter-Ammeter-AC-DC-OHM-Tester-Checker-/330919946996?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item4d0c5daaf4
February 16, 201411 yr Author All sorted now, fogs r working all round, took the dash n centre console out, looks like some1 went in with a chainsaw ffs, thanks 4 all the advice
