Hi & welcome to the Forum.

In the manual diagram there is a fuse attached to the battery 175A (2.0 only) & a red wire which goes to the engine fuse box 2 x 60A. (F2D & F2A)
The Relay in the engine fuse box is named - K4

When you turn the fogs on by the stalk do you get a warning light on the dash?

 

Hello and thank you for your reply to my problem,
No the dash front fog light does not come on

 

Have you fitted the relay that came with the kit ?

See if 'K4' is on the fuse lid in the engine fuse box

 

Will need engine size petrol, diesel engine, code if possible as there are fuses in the interior fusebox also that could well not be fitted,

 

Front fog light relay goes in the interior relay box

 

Which i think is under the dash passenger side.

Yes it is, i have just checked, it has yellow & pink relays with a few spare spaces

 

These are the fuses circled red that should be fitted in the the passenger side fuse box

 

Wish i could draw like that ..

 

Bet you have other talents :d

 

Sorry for the delay Trying to get used to how to reply etc,
I have not fitted the relay as there was no spaces in the box under the header tank in the engine bay
Currently in Couter's garage:

 

Looked at that and there is a red fuse in the place for the front fogs and its fine

 

I had a look at the interior fuse box on the end of the dash on the pass side but I cannot see any relays there at all
I will check it out in the morning when it a bit better weather

 

No No No - the fuses are in the fuse box behind the cup holder passenger side & the relays are under the dash on the passenger side - look for pink & yellow relays there are a few blank spaces :d let us know how you get on as i need some fogs on mine.

Also see post #8 & check the fuses are fitted.
Cheers Ralph

 

Hi Ralph thanks for your help matey,
Right,,, now I checked the fuses behind the cup holder but I did not know that was some under the dash with the relays and I will check it out weather permitting tomorrow and i will let you know, thanks Nev

 

Not fuses under the dash, just Relays.

Are the fuses fitted as in the picture on post 8 ?

 

Just a thought it may be similar to the later Clios, Meganes, Lagunas, etc. When front fogs are installed after production the lighting UCH needs programmed to suit.

 

Sounds feasible but wouldn't just plugging in a relay make the contact seeing as all the wiring was already there ?

 

On models with a lighting UCH the UCH is similar to a mini computer so when you operate a switch it doesn't connect directly but instructs the UCH to take the necessary action usually sending a current to a relay or such. As far as I know it can only be altered by a Renault compatible code reader.

I am not certain about all models but I do know the later Clios and Lagunas work on that principle.

 

Understand, hopefully Couter will read this & book a trip to the local dealership to get his lights working, thanks Noel.

 

Sorry to jump in so late but the best thing to do with front fog lights, along with those 4king rear blinders, is to bin them. Rears may have a place in deep fog on a motorway but yer average commuter switches them on in mist, in traffic - big help. Fronts are generally left on all the time either because numnuts forgets they're on or for "look at me" effect. As for illumination, they're as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Now, a pair of Super Oscars, they'll do the job!

 

You dont drive much around country lanes then ,,

 

"You dont drive much around country lanes then ,,"

I do - I live in a small village. I write from personal experience of driving in towns and at commuting time. I think the lack of consideration in the use of these lights is just another symptom of the me me me society which has developed over the past few years.

I've had front fogs on four Citroens, two Alfas and my current RX4; none of them were worth a toss.

 

I agree it is an age old problem with motorists not using their lighting to the road conditions.
Can we keep the thread subject to getting this poor chaps 'Fog Lights' working whether he actually needs them or not. :d

Cheers

 

Total agreement there .:d

 

OP any chance of an engine type

 

Good morning, well I got out this morning and looked for the bank of relays under the dash on the pass side and there was only one row of relays on my van, On that row there was only one space left at the bottom so seeing my van has a lot of spec already fitted I put the relay into that space and hey presto they are working, I switched on the headlamps and then the front fogs and the dashlight came on so I checked the fogs outside and they are on, So all in all they were quite simple to fit as the wires were there to attach to the fogs, the stalk switch was a doddle to fit and now the relay is a doddle now I know where it is, Many thanks to you and forums like this to help people like me find and fix things it's great and better than having to pay a garage to sort this out, Best regards to all that have replied to my quest for help, Nev pics attached

Forgot to say the the empty space for the relay was the very bottom one as you look at the picture and that is where I put a green relay that I got with the kit , tnx

 

Excellent news Couter, glad you got that sorted out.
I can't find any wires behind my bumper, I did have a good look when i was replacing my horn, might have to do it the old fashioned way :d

 

Got the fogs sorted myself without the need of a dealerships with their high charges etc I am an ex garage proprietor and I know what them people charge first hand, I always thought D**k Turpin wore a mask ?

 

I am sorry to see that you have a huge chip on your shoulder regarding fog lights,
I agree that irresponsible drivers that leave them on or use them willy nilly causes a problems for other road users BUT I am not one of those type of drivers so you cannot say that all of drivers are the same, I am an ex Professional HGV driver retired and believe me I have seen them all but I aim to use them correctly and within the law,

 

I agree with you 100% thanks for your comment,
