95 LS fog light wiring

Featured Replies

Thanks to the excellent set of fog lights I now have from grossgary, I'm almost wired up.  The wiring instructions that came with the kit (which says they are for  "Legacy ('94 ~ MY )" and include the same fog switch that is in the 95-99 vehicles that have fogs.

 

I have all the connections made except one.  It doesn't seem to match up with what the instructions say.

 

A screenshot of the wiring instructions page in question can be seen here:

The last lone wire is supposed to splice onto a white 8-pole connector that is on the right side of the driver foot area.  There are a number of plugs there, including some white ones, but none that match up with the diagram shown in the instructions.  I looked for the wire referenced in the instructions as well (yellow/blue) but I didn't see it in any of the bundles there.

 

I'm trying to decipher the wiring diagram to figure out what connection I am missing (I loaded a screen shot of the fog light wiring http://prntscr.com/5umpyu).

 

I just took the rig for a spin (it is night now) and I see the switch lights up as it should and dims when I dim my dash lights so that seems to be in order.  Just need that last connection to get the fogs powered up.

 

Any thoughts?

IIRC that last connection should be just below the steering column.

 

The power wiring for the control half of the fog lamp relay ties into the wiring for the high/lo dimmer switch under the column, so when you select the high beams it deactivates the fog lamp relay and the fog lamps turn off.

 

If you'd like to leave the fog lamps on when the high beams are on (illegal in some states) you can simply ground that wire.

Great job Steve! electrical is not my expertise so I'm clueless without seeing it in person and pouring over it 8 times...

Yeah, electrical isn't my forte either.  

I'll dig around some more near the steering column and try and post some pics for those visual learners.  As expected, I needed some hobbit hands to try and get at the connections under the dash.  The instructions were great for getting the general guide for the wires under the hood and what plug to use to access the interior.  This will also help me scavenge for another harness when I hit the salvage yards since I have a better idea of where to look.

 

I posted in another thread, but if anyone has a need for the factory wiring instructions (four pages) for 95-99 fog lights (the dealer install kit, not the same as Outbacks I think) drop me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send you a pdf copy.  

 

Update: Fairtax's last bit of advice was spot on.  The wire I needed was in one of the bundles coming down from the light stalk.  The connector size didn't match up and the wire was in a different location from the instructions I had.  It was still blue/yellow, but the tertiary color spot was different.  Fog lights in action.
