Obvious solution is to check there are no splits or slices out of the fog light loom. If not, check that you are turning the fogs on right (pulling the switch out on normal beam will only activate rear fog) IIRC.

not sure on this (As I've never read the guide or done it). But you may have to insert a fuse on the board?

Have a look in the manual, it gives you reference to what each of the pictures mean on the card. find the correct fuse for the front foglights, there should be a fuse missing here. Just buy one and pop it in. If the fuse doesn't share any other features then I'd assume it would just take a 10A.

This all may not be the case however, as I've never done the process so don't know. the fogs may well run off a seperate already in use fuse. It's just an educated guess.

I think we've diagnosed the issue Tim, it seems he doesn't have a fog light capability on his switch so there for no chance of turning them on. Can you recommend a new compatable switch?
