Pre 89 foglight mod

You sure its not the same wire that may be looped around or something. Look at the wiring schematics and confirm there are two.

If not you can try both to see which one it is then solder the other back together but you know...

Uhm...

I guess I can look at it again... er.

Schematics... wonder if my Haynes repair manual has it.

I had to run a whole new wire to my fogs cuz mine were all coroded/broken

^ Which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid at all costs, since my wires are in good shape.

This is to somebody who knows about this wiring - help? Please? ._.

Bump for great justice. ._.

-cannot find the schematics, ftr-

Alright, this isn't making any sense to me. I followed the picture write-up, with the exception that the foglight relay wire that's being rewired was red/yellow, and the foglights are working LIKE NORMAL.

I spliced together the red/green fog light wire to the black/white wire, capping off the dashboard end of the red/green and leaving the black and white at a complete circuit. Even though the foglight relay no longer clicks, the fog lights come on... ONLY when the headlights are on driving beams! I also hit it with a test light just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and sure enough, it only lit when the fog switch was on and the driving beams were on.

What the fuck!?

Midnight Dorifuta - Looks like this is what you need, post#8first page.
Only wires you need to deal with are w/g at the relay and r/b at the switch.

All you are doing is isolating the fog circuit from the headlight circuit.

For Pre-89:

1. Find the fog light relay, cut the white/green wire (pin 3) and ground the side going to the relay.
2. Find the fog light switch, cut the red/black wire (pin 4) and connect the side going to the relay to a switched +12VDC power source. See Note
...
Note: For example: splice it into the black/red wire (Pin 2) on the cruise control switch (pre-89) or cruise control main relay (89+), or splice it into the red/yellow wire (Pin 2) on the fog light relay, however this will result in the fog lights functioning even if the car is off.
