problem with fog lights

[poordc2]

i have a set of ebay oem wannabe fog lights for my 96 integra and when i install the fog lights they work at first and now out of no where they just stop turning on...the light for the button still lights up and when you push the button you can hear the relay clicking but no lights....there are two ground wires....on in the engine bay and one inside the car, i check the one in the engine bay but i haven't check the one inside the car....have anyone ever ran into this problem before....any input would be very helpful....

check your connectors, i had them break internally before, grab a test light

you mean the connectors that connect to the oem harness or both...cause they both look good

yea, but check for power at the lights first

yea i check the lights my getting them to turn on manually and they work fine

 

[jdmjim]

hoe are you doing them manually

hoe are you doing them manually

well i just unplug the fog lights from the harness and then i just connect them to the batter to see if they work and it still light up but i have no clue only why the fog lights wont turn on.....i check my wiring and recheck then and still nothing....i push the button and all i get is a clicking sound from the relay....i am losing my mind on what the problem could be......

is there a fuse somewhere, with fog lights i had a while back on another car they usually come with a small fuse on the power wire, also make sure the nut/bolt where you have the grounds is clean of any paint and its bare metal.

if they work when u have them connected directly to the battery, I THINK its prob something really easy that you might have over looked. it happens to me all the time

heres what the fuse usually looks like, it might of popped a fuse?

i believe i check the fuse already but i will check again just to be sure.

I had the same problem... I believe that its in the switch itself. Can you post picts of your switch so I can see which one it is? If its the same one that I had i ended up getting rid of it and running another switch straight from the power wire coming from the fuse box

If I have time I will try and take pix tomorrow... After all said and done I pretty much re did all of the wires

oh and check the wire that goes into the engine bay. The one thats right up by your clutch pedal, mine has come unplugged a couple different times now, kind of annoying
