Default 98-00 SC400 Foglight Problem

Hi Folks,

The other day both of my fogs mysteriously stopped working. I checked both light bulbs (fine). Checked the fog fuses in the engine bay (fine). Looked under the driver dash for other foglight fuses but found none.

Any ideas what else I can check? Does anyone have access to a fog wiring diagram that can help?

I really miss my fogs.

check to make sure the switch on the stalk is in the on position? i once made the careless mistake of switchin out both bulbs thinkin that was the problem but later found out the switch was just in the off position.

Yup, checked that already. Switching it off/on does nothing.

Nevermind. I was able to fix it today. Turns out the fuse for the fog switch had blown and melted in the socket.

The fuse itself was not located in the little fusebox under the driver dash. But rather sitting inconspicuosly just above and to the right of the box. It was the first of two 15amp fuses.

I recommend people check there if both your fogs suddenly die and your bulbs and engine fuses look ok.

My car is a 2000 SC400. So other model years may differ. Hope this helps someone.
