Classic Fog Light Switch?

[Jaret Rapp]

My fogs were factory installed.  I have the build sheet :)   But they are wired somewhat aftermarket so to speak as the relay is not in the box next to the battery as its marked.


Anyway, I found an unmarked, loose relay under the drivers side dashboard.  It happened to have a Bosch relay(they are Bosch fog lights).  Fortunately its a standard 12v 30a 5 pin relay.  $4.99 at the local Advance auto and my foglights are working again!!!  Phew!


Problem solved.


Next, brakes :)

The foglights on most 91s were dealer installed, so the wiring harness is not integrated into the car harness.  There is a fuse holder near the battery and a relay on the back of the driver's shock tower.  I would check for voltage at the relay connector and work your way toward the switch.  The '92s had the factory installed foglights and the switch is in the same place.

Hello,
 
My 91's foglights arent working.  I think its the switch because the little light on the switch is not illuminating.  The fuse is fine.  Seeing that I lack any other electrical knowledge to do any other trouble shooting, hoping to attempt just replacing the switch.
 
Easier said than done.  Well getting the switch out was no problem.  However, Nissan does not even list this part (at least I didn't see it).  Looks like the switch they list is a rocker switch that goes behind the steering wheel.  My SE-R has the push button switch under the AC vents.
 
Does anyone have an extra switch lying around?  Anyone have a clue as to where I might find one?  And lastly, has anyone else had an issue with the foglights?
 
I cant drive my SE-R at night without the coolness factor of the foglights!
 
Thanks
 
Jaret
