quartus Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have a 86 GL-10 SW 4x4 and have a mystery switch I can't identify. Its not in the owners manual or Hayes, chiltons manual either. Its a orange faced pushbutton switch located on the lower left hand side of the dash, kinda hidden by the steering wheel. The graphic on it looks like maybe a foglight symbol , ~D, (three wavy lines). Anyone know what it controls? It appears not to do anything when engaged.

Numbchux Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 yep, fog lights. that orange one is a dealer-installed one. my '85 had 'em, the lights were smashed, but the button would light up when pushed (as long as the headlights were on).

The Beast I Drive Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 My RX had that switch too, but somebody had hacked the wiring under the dash and disabled it, and removed the foglights -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quartus Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks for the info, I'll file that on back burner if case I ever what to add some more lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quartus Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Pushed it with low headlights on, the switch lights up! I might just move this to the front burner. I can't find where foglights would of even been mounted, anyone have any details on foglights for 86 GL-10 SW, ie connector locations, mounting location. A photo of some mounted would be great. Last question, assuming everythings there but the foglights themselves, is there a relay already in the circuit and is it a single wire only to each foglight (ok double question)?

kilgore Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I had the same set up. The foglights were mounted on the underside of the bumper until they were smashed off. My relay is mounted on the front side of the drivers' side strut mount beside the coolant reservoir. The relay circuit draws from the parking lights (corner lights on my car) and are powered directly from the battery through an in-line fuse. There is a single wire to the lights which is spliced at the bumper. I upgraded the relay so that each light has it's own power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quartus Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah I found some holes on the underside of the bumper where it looks like the floods were attached. I'll try to find some low profile ones to mount. I found the power to them also. Thanks for your help. All would be perfect except for that deer that caught a ride on my GL-10's bumper and dented it in pretty bad. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104029 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
