Fog lamp switch

Post by jimmybondi »

Good to see the forum growing :)

My fog lamp switch tends to melt after some hours of excessive use. I have bought some spares from the last surplus sales, but now I am running out of switches.. :(

I think the time has come to add a relay to the switch. Has anyone an easy-how-to guide handy, by any chance?

Best simple layout I could find after a quick web search is at http://www.carcentral.net/content/guide ... Lights.php Scroll down to the schematic. Also note the service manual shows the way they were hooked up via a relay for Austrian delivery Excels.

Hope this helps
