Carrera(80's) w/fog light help
Some time ago my high/low beam switch failed. I replaced the unit, but ever since, my fog lamps have never worked. The indicator lamp in the pull switch(fog lamps) comes on but no fog lamp illumination. I think I may have accidently mis-wired the parking/headlamp switch. Does anyone with an 80s' era Carrera have a diagram or pic of the switch and its wiring?
TIA

This probably isnt much help, but I do know that when I have my fog lights on and go to high beam, my fog lights automaticaly switch off.
I'm not sure how that might help, but I figured it may be worth looking into

bigrubberjeep,
Yes, that's how mine worked originally too. Foglamps would also come on when the parking lamps were on(Fog Lamp switch On). I think the wiring for the foglamps to the headlight switch may be wrong.

A quick search yielded the following about fog light wiring:
Fog lights non-functional See Fred Cooks response towards the bottom as well as this post wiring diagram for fog light switch 71? The search is a powerful tool ![]()

Brandon,
Yes, the search tool is powerful. ![]() I was hoping I wouldn't have to go thru that convoluted wire harness under the bonnet to track the problem. Since I only replaced the high/low beam selector switch, when the problem manifested itself, maybe someone could show me the proper connections at the back of the headlight/parking light switch.

donporfi,
Yes, thank you very much, it does. I wish the pic were a little bigger. I tried saving the image, but when I do, the enlargement is too blurry to read the pin numbers on the switch/relays to make it useful. Is there anyway you could save a larger/higher res image?
