Yes i know i should go see the corsa boys on this one, but lol


On my 52 plate combo (Dave Fox's old one) it has an SRi front bumper with fogs, i sourced a front fog headlight switch today and lobbed it in but nope doesnt work, the loom is there for the fogs themselves and theyre plugged in behind the bumper.

Ive done a bit of looking on google and it seems i need fuse 41 in the board under the bonnet, but after looking there arent any terminals there for the fuse to plug into, is it not possible for me to get them working then?

Any ideas peeps?

Do they need tech2 to activate them?

Pretty sure they need to be tech 2'd as its CAN system

Im sure i can get that done at some point, but what about the fact there seems to be a bit of wiring missing from the fuse box though?

Speaker wire and chocolate blocks is the answer, not the one your looking for but it'll have the same final out come

As for the missing fuse connection, I'd guess as the van didn't have front fogs to begin with it just had a poverty spec loom that didn't include the wiring and connectors for the fogs. Not uncommon really.

Just make up your own loom, saves cutting about with 10+ year old wiring anyway

Use a relay and it's easy

I calculate that to £5 lol I guess the fog light fuse holder is under the bonnet?

The whole fusebox is under the bonnet, there is nothing under the dash where you would expect to find a fusebox lol

Wire them in yourself mate. All you need is wiring from battery to relay, lights and switch.
