    Honda Civic 2004 Vti M/T

    The fog lamps used to work. Suddenly, they wont turn on anymore. When i switch it on, the indicator light on the stock foglamp switch comes on and you hear the normal click sound (not the switch mechanism sound), but the foglamps dont come on. The headlights are on. I checked the fuse box under the steering wheel, and the holder for the fuse for the foglamps is empty. (Dont think about anyone stealing the fuse. Noone else touches the car) Theres no fuse talaga. Is there a fuse also under the hood? What do you think is wrong? Why wont it light?

    dalawa lang yan. its either the fuse or the relay.but since you mentioned na talagang walang fuse sa fusebox, i think its the relay.

    Pwede rin power supply. Usually, kumukuha ng power ang foglights sa positive terminal ng battery. Baka naputol or natanggal sa terminal.

    It happened to me. Malas ko nga, I paid a backyard mechanic P250 for him to tell me that and to reconnect it. Took him less than 10 seconds to do the job. At least, now I know...(and knowing is half the battle! G.I. Joe! hehehe, sorry, couldn't resist that...)

    IMO fuse lang, or worst baka may nakakagat na mickey mouse sa wiring if not loose connections.

    Where can i find the fuse if it's not in the fuse box under the steering wheel? Why do you think it gets burnt out, it's very rarely used.

    hehehe. pero mabait ang mechanic na gumagawa ng mga cars namin. Everytime may minor na problem lang and no need to buy parts, after he fixes it, we ask him how much, and he just says, ok lang... even mga minor spare parts like clips, etc. ok lang sa kanya.

    swerte mo may kilala kang mekanikong ganyan. Yun ibang mekaniko nananaga lalo't kapag di mo alam yun problema.

Fog lamps wont turn on
