Mine are hooked into my turn signal circuit.....

I checked it out and the delay works as it should. When I open the door the fogs go out....

As for moving the power windows to fuse#2 - I did for a while and then moved them back.

I had to remove the crimped piece of metal binding the copper together on the end of the power window wire and twisted the copper from the foglight relay onto that. I did fit much better into fuse#1 this way.

Thanks for the help ....

OK experts, as you can see I have no grey wire on the bottom of fuse # 5. On my '80, the 1st fuse is fogs and the 5th is low beam right. can you tell me what bottom grey wire to move and to where? No guessing please.
#2 has a grey wire on the bottom ( the only one ). #2 is license plate light.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1222641311.jpg

Hey Don..

Try disconnecting the grey wire from the #2 fuse and see if the foglights still work. If they do not, then that is the correct wire to move.

You can force the Fog lights relay to the ON position so everytime you turn the key the fog lights go on.. (at least in the 964 there is a relay, don't know about 911 thou... I can't remember.)

Anyway I wrote about it here: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=292399


Good luck!

In my 89, when I put the parking light/headlight switch in the "parking light" (first detent) position, and turn on my fogs, they come on. As the switch isn't activating the headlights, no headlights, only fogs.

I had thought this was standard?

Any Updates on Mod?
 
Hey Fellas,

Reviving this old thread.

I did not intend to make this mod but my Fog Light Switch's internal capacitor burned out and no longer illuminates the internal light, Tested it on a 9 volt source and it lit up fine. The worse thing is that it would cause a surge and blow the #8 (#18) Fuse to the Fog Lights.

I ordered a new switch but in the meantime, I jimmed the two Fog Light wire to #7 fuse where the License Plate wire comes out from. Disabled #8 and insulated the wires. This also by passed the Fog Light Relay all together.

To my amazement, it worked. But I did have to replace the 5 amp to an 8 amp fuse. I know that is bad.

I really like the fact that the fog lights turn on when parking light are on.

I wondered if everyones mod is doing fine and no issues came up due to the mod?

Also has anyone moded like me and if so, did you place a relay on the two wires?

Fog lights to running lights
 
Thanks to all, I just did this on my '86 and it took 30 seconds, very cool!

Ok, reviving this thread too. I have a wiring setup like this so, I'm not sure which wire to switch. The 2nd wire from the right (gray for 79SC) says license plate and fog relay). I tried moving that one to different fuse but it didn't do anything to the fogs.
The 1st set of two white wires on the right are fog according to Bentley but do I move both or what?

It seems the 78,79s are a little different than the others posted.

In this scenario I would like to keep them switched with the ignition.

Cheers,

Kato,

For your '86, move the grey wire to fuse #10.

Good luck,

Gerry

Does anyone know if the '84 wiring is the same as the '86?
Looks like this would be nice to have at dawn/dusk prior to needing the H4s.

Thanks :)

The circuit is the same, but the fuse panel is not.

The #10 fuse on the '86 is assigned to:

1. Heated windshield nozzles.
2. Rear window wiper.
3. Windshield wiper switch.
4. Wiper delay relay.

Can anyone help on my 79 with my post from above?
