99 xj 185,000 up country: RE 3.5 31s, stock electronics.
my jeep was equipped with fogs from the factory. I have an after market bumper and took the broken fog lamps off years ago while tucking the plugs into the grill area.
I am wanting to add a putco wiring harness for the headlights. Currently i have been testing the fog wiring with a test light. I started by grounding the test light to the battery and tested the fog plugs by the bumper, neither lit up. I then tested all of the fuses in the PDC because i cant find any info on which ones are for fogs. two fuses did not light up. upon this i pulled the dash cover and removed the fog switch. Testing the fog lead to the switch i have light. I go back to the PDC fuses with the switch removed and now all of the fuses light up the tester.
I pulled the relay and tested it with alligator clips on the battery positive and negative to the relay. the relay clicked. I then left the power hooked up and added clips from the multimeter set to ohm on 20. the meter shows 1. so if ive tested it correctly its bad i think.
Questions:
1) how do i test the rocker fog switch itself?
2) what Fuses in the pdc go to the fogs. there are no numbers or diagrams ive seen that represent this. the pdc cover labels relays only, and what is the fog Drl vs just the fog relay?
3) As ive said i would like to add a head light harness, is there any option that allows me to run the fogs from the factory switch independently from the head lights?
thank you for any help im terrible at this stuff.
