I have a 01 Limited that came with the factory fogs but one wasn't working. So I bought some aftermarket ones and I think that I hooked them up wrong. There are the 2 wires going to each fog light so I took the new ones and spliced into the factory wires. Instead of grounding the negative from the light I put it into the factory black wire. I thought that it grounded somewhere within the factory wiring since both wires went into the factory lights.
I flip the switch inside and the light on the switch turns on but my fogs didn't.
I checked the fuse inside and it is fine and there is power going to it.
Then I checked the power to the foglights. Blue factory wire is positive and the black is negative, correct? So I should be able to put my negative from my volt meter on the black wire and the positive on the blue wire and get 12 volts correct? I got nothing. So then I tried just the positive and grounded my volt meter on the unibody and still had nothing.
So now I am stumped?
Do I just hook my positive fogs up to the blue factory wires and then ground both of the negatives from the fogs to the unibody while leaving the factory black wires just sitting there?
What would be causing me not to have power coming to the fogs if the fuse is fine and getting power and the switch is lighting up when flip it to turn on the fogs. Could my switch be bad even if it lights up. If so what/how can I test that? Could it be a bad relay. There are 2 of them but how do I check them, I have a volt/ohm meter. Those are the only things I can think of but I don't know how to check them.
It is just weird because before this one of the factory fogs worked. Sorry this is so long but I figured I would tell everyone what I did so far. Any help with pictures if possible would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
