Driving lights wiring
Does anyone know how it is supposed to be wired up? I'll take a pic tomorrow if i remember, but it is the panel under the driver's side dash, i unhooked the wires on the dimmer and when i put them back on either the lights didn't work at all or all except the driving lights worked. I did it a long time ago and i had that panel out for a while when it happened so i forgot how it was hooked up.
thanks!
thanks!

no im not sure i put them back in the same order correctly thats what im asking about.
i feel like an idiot for not thinking about the fuses haha. I just looked and the one for the fog lights is definitely burned out. I switched it with another to check and they still didn't work. I must have melted it during one of the other configurations i was trying out.
heres how mine is wired and all lights work except the fog lights

Maybe I'm a bit dense (just had two teeth pulled and am poppin' pain killers!!) but I can't make heads nor tails of what yer talkin' about.
Are you saying the fog lamps are not working as a result of messing with the panel light rheostat ....or what?
And what year is your XJS? There were a couple different fog lamp circuit arrangements over the years....

yes, i know it seems stupid but this is all i have messed with. I unplugged these when i had the key made for it and when i plugged them back in i either couldn't get any lights to work or got all except the fog lights working. There could have been an arrangement where only the fogs worked i don't remember. This was nearly a year ago just after i first got it. so i dont remember too well.
its an '88.
There is another connector as you can see, am i missing a wire that could be up in the dash somewhere?

Shouldn't be too hard to diagnose the fog lamp circuit:
With the switch set to the foglamp position you should have 12v on the red/yellow wire at terminal 30 and terminal 87a of the foglamp relay, on both sides of the fuse, and continuing right on down to the lamps themselves....all on the red/yellow wire.
If the high beams are on/flashed the relay will switchover, the circuit will open, and voltage won't be delivered to the fuse.
