Fog/Driving Lamp: Description and Operation

Lamps, Fog

The fog lamps (15200) are mounted to the front bumper (17757). The lamp circuit is controlled by a fog lamp switch (1 5A2 14) on the instrument panel (04320). A fuse in the fuse junction panel (14A067) protects the circuit. Fog lamps can only be operated with the headlamp switch (11654) in the low beam position. The circuit will not be completed with the headlamps in the high beam position, parking lamp position, or the OFF position.

Lamp and Switch, Fog

The fog lamp switch (15A214) is the bottom switch in the row of switches to the right of the radio.

- Push fog lamp switch in to turn fog lamps (15200) on.

- Push fog lamp switch out to shut off fog lamps.

The fog lamp switch is not directly connected to the fog lamps. In the ON position, the switch provides a ground circuit for the fog lamp relay coil. The coil closes the relay contacts which complete the battery feed circuit to the fog lamps.

A separate circuit on the lamp side of the relay illuminates a light emitting diode (LED) in the switch when the fog lamps are on.
