Guys
I have no rear fog lamps (The day before MOT-typical!)
Where is the relay located? I have the factory manual which includes it in the wiring diagram but not in the component location diagram!
(1984/5 car)
Many thanks.

Hi John,
Not sure which diagram is applicable or when any changes were made, but this is for a 1987 car I believe.
Red dot is rear fog light relay.

Nothing showing in my service notes for the pre 1986 cars either.

Re: Rear fog lamp relay location?
After a bit of detective work, I have discovered that the early cars didn't have a rear fog relay, but the wiring runs through the front fog relay.
Checked and it had come loose in its holder. Removed, cleaned contacts and replaced-all now working.
