Can't tell if fog lights are on.

[Omegadoha, Desert Member]

There is no indication in the instrument cluster as to whether the fog lights are engaged or not. This is for front or rear. Is this likely to be a dodgy headlamp switch or a loose connection somewhere?

Thanks

There should be a tell tale on the dash. Are the lamps OK?

[Omegadoha, Desert Member]

yes, the fog lights come on but nothing in the dash for either front or rear. Should their be separate lights in the dash for front and rear?

Yes. Earlier cars had the tell-tale/warning lamp on the actual switch. Mini face lift & facelift have a seperae lamp on the dash for each of the front & rear fogs lamps.

Yes, on post 1998 cars, as Andy B says, a warning for each on the speedo

As well or instead of? My 99 cdx had both. My 3.2 has only lights on the dash. No lights on the switch, not even so you can see the buttons in the dark. Nothing. Presumably the night lights should be there. But the on off as well?

Instead of. early ones had it on light switch, mini facelift and later on dash. If you had one with both, it would be a minifacelift/facelift that has had a replacement lightswitch

I should think they are for the sandstorms!!

There should be back lights, I've never had to open this switch up but a Senator used to have a soldered in lamp about the size of a grain of rice. I replaced mine with some from a local radio spares shop.

Yes you do. It is wierd. A couple of months ago as it was getting dark and then suddenly it went foggy. Hot and foggy.

Yeah you get some horrible windy days as well, sand get blown into your mouth

There are definately marking for two fog light tell tails in the dash, either side of the speedometer. It looks like someone has replaced the headlamp switch, so perhaps that is what is needed.

3.2, should be in dash only, so pop some bulbs in there
