Right then chaps,
I own a 91 200Tdi and when I checked the lights, I found I have no rear fog lights working! Fuses ok, bulbs ok and power getting to the switch but no power getting to the rear light cluster. Is there another break point between the switch and the rear lights? Before I start stripping the dash down to find the wire, has anyone had this problem before???? Also does anyone know where the wire is routed to get to the back of the vehicle.
Cheers guys.

have you got the headlights on when trying the the fog lights? as they have to be on for them to work.

Just spent the morning stripping down the dash to check the wires for the rear fog lights but still no joy. Haynes manual not really much help.
Does anyone know if there is a relay for the rear fogs and if so where is it?

I've ran a wire direct from the battery to the fog light wire hidden behind the windscreen pillar and that gives me rear fog lights so the rear light cluster is fine.

Any ideas please???? (Yes the lights are on when tryng rear fogs)

Not sure about your model, but my old 300 used to have TWO switches for the fog lights: one for the front (not fitted) and one for the back. One was to the left of the clock binacle and one was on the lower left side. I too removed half the dash before I realised this.

Hi NomadABC, only the one switch fitted (mounted on the speedo pod). A lot of the wires seem to go behind the heater out of sight.
