Default Rear FOG + REM Programing problem

Hi,
In my Xj X350 imported from the USA, the rear fog lights do not work. In my country they are required due to regulations.
I checked the fuses, bulbs, the wire connecting REM with the bulbs and whether there is + on the bulb.
Everything is ok, but the lights don't turn on.
Yes, I know... that the rear lights come on when the dipped headlights and front fog lights are on.

So I decided to reprogram the REM module, but unfortunately I get such errors during programming.

I have a second REM but it differs from mine with the last letters.
My is 5W93-13B524-AB second used is 5W93-13B524-AC
Will I be able to program it? I haven't checked yet.

Maybe you know what these errors are? I can't find it anywhere

THANKS Arek

I see so many references to “dipped” headlights. I have never heard this reference before and I have no idea what it means.

"Dipped" mean low beams.

OP, it sounds like you think the rear fogs are linked to the front fogs, and they are not. The front fogs indeed only work with low beam headlights or just side lights,) but the rear fogs have their own button, and low-beam/high-beam is irrelevant, so I don't think you're even turning them on!

in the pic, the upper center button is front fogs, the lower center is rear.


I never use them except in extremely heavy rain, because 99.999999995% of American drivers are going to think you're driving around with your brakes on, as American cars simply do not have them...

Dipped beams are the lights used between sidelights & high beam. Meaning they are the usual headlights used.
