I did my fog-light rewire and it worked fine for like 20 minutes. Then, nothing worked. Only the low beams and high beams work, none of the side corners work and neither do the fog lights. What could have happened? Some kind of electrical failure? I checked the fuses on the right side and all appear to be ok. Everything is wired properly. HELP

 

you've probably got a short where you wired them up...check and recheck the connections...also...check your fuses

 

guys...I bought an awesome multimeter and tested all the wiring that I have put in when doing the fog-light rewire. EVERY SINGLE WIRE works...meaning...it conducts what it is supposed to so I have no clue why no fogs and no small side lamps and corners turn on. The regular beam and high beams work fine.

Well, I now remember that there are two wires running from the clear parking light (right next to, not below, the regular beams), right? Yes. Well, there were these two OTHER wires that I have noticed since long ago just hanging loosly in the engine bay, coming out from the same wiring as the necessary two wires I just described. Well, stupid me. ..I went and connected them (one is pure black and another is pure red) and that's when something malfunctioned. Since:

1) ALL my fuses are perfect and

2) My beams work and everything else in the car works and I get no check engine and

3) The "new wiring" and the "old wiring" does conduct electricity like it is supposed to.....

.......now......i spent looking for this malfunctioning whatever it is for almost an entire day today. My dad's helping me but he also has no clue since everything is hooked up properly. He suggested something, but I don't know if it could be it. That is, he said that in that case it could be nothing else but the switch (yeah, the switch inside the car) with which you turn on both beams and fogs and parking lights. But then again, if it was something with the switch, wouldn't the beams also not turn on?

So...basically nothing turns on except for regular beams, high beams, and turn signals (they work properly too).

ANY SUGGESTIONS???!!!

 

I also noticed that my rear lights do not work at all...except when I brake. I am almost positive it is the switch...what do u think?

 

which directions did you use? I think that 95-96 are different than 97-99. Maybe the wire you used wasn't thick enough. So far mine are working for over a year now...
