in the engine bay, right in front of the battery there is a coolant tank. That slides up and under that is a box of relays including the fog relay which I believe is the lower right one, they are labeled so it shouldn't be hard

also, on my page (click on the car below) there is a picture with descriptions of what each fuse in the drivers compartment does and if you can't find the fog light relay, go to my page and look at the foglight rewire and it tells in there

btw, both of those things I mentioned are in the "how-to" section of my page

I have been to your web site and I have seen the rewire instructions. Those fuse box pictures seem to be for 1989-91SE or 1989-94 non SE. I dont have a fuse box under the hood with 2 rows of fuses at the same place. And i can't find any place where it is labled for fog light.

btw
The reason I am looking for it is, i installed these new lights. I removed the wiring on the new lights to use the same harness that is installed from the factory. I did that and then connected the light just to make sure if it worked. It worked for 30 seconds and then it stoped working. I took the fogs back out, checked the connections and the bulb. Nothing seems to be wrong with the fogs. So, I am assuming it must be the fuse blown out.

Please reply

I have a 93SE so I can guarantee that the rewire is for all 89-94 maximas
you do have a box of relays under the hood in the place I mentioned

if you look in this picture, you can see the resovoir tank that I am talking about that is directly in front of the battery. You just grab hold of that and slide it straight up (it is attached to a rail on the side of the battery holder). Underneath is the box you are looking for

<img src="http://www.geocities.com/bracecraig/maxima/fuses.gif">
here are the fuses and as you can see, the fuse for the fogs is on the bottom right in the fuse box that is just down to the left of the steering wheel (15A fuse)

it sounds like the fuse is probably your problem; its more likely to be that than a bad relay, but you can get to the relay very easily anyway

Coolant tank

For those people with the coolant overflow tank in front of the battery, do you have ABS? Because on my car (w/o ABS), the coolant overflow tank is behind the passenger-side headlight.

I do have abs so I guess that's why my coolant tank is over there. The ABS is just behind the pass. headlight. I thought it was just like that in VE since in my 89GXE (VG), it was on the other side, but I didn't have ABS in that so I guess that's why
