Ok Have 97 Outback

Fog Lights Didn't Work When I Got The Car

Pulled Bulbs Out And Were Busted. Put New Ones In Still Do Not Work

Is There A Fuse Anywhere?

Fuse Box Cover Is Gone So Don't Know If I Am Missing afuse from the slot it should be in

 

Thanks

Jake

Hi Jake. There Must Be A Fuse Somewhere, Even If It Power Multiple Circuits. Can You Check The Pins With A Voltmeter To Verify They're Getting Power? AFAIK, They Only Come On When The Button Is Pressed And The Low Beams (But Not High Beams) Are On.

would a test light work to test the pins? i don't know much about electronics.

but wouldn't you assume they are not because there are new bulbs. i have a friend with a 97 outback maybe i can look at there fuse box cover. thanks for any and all help

that's true, if they're brand new bulbs they should be fine. if the '97 is anything like my '96, fuse 6 (15A) in the fuse panel located under the dashboard is for the front fog lights. do you hear a relay click or anything when pressing the fog light button?

 

fuse 6 is the sixth fuse from the upper left hand corner of the fuse panel.

i don't hear a click or anything. i'll check my fuse box and look for that one. thanks!

6th fuse from upper left hand corner. top row?

yes it worked. thank you so much.

 

there was no fuse there. your cover doesn't say anything about a fuse for reverse lights does it. they don't work either

hi jake, yep sorry that was a little unclear, yes count left to right in the top row of fuses - sixth from the left. i saw another fuse or two for 'lighting relays' too so if that 6 fuse isn't bad it might be another fuse.

hi jake, yes, for reverse lights it says 'back-up light' and 'turn signal' are fuse 1 in the panel under the dashboard (that's the top left fuse).
