Hello,
First post here - hoping to become a frequent poster.
I've been very lucky to meet my girlfriend (future wife?) who has a Discovery 1. The previous owner had fitted front fog lights, and my girlfriend replaced these a while before I knew her. They were working for a while, she tells me, but now nothing happens when they are switched on. I've checked the wiring and can see 2 long leads with a single -ve wire in each (tested continuity back to the battery -ve). Just about 30cm before these wires reach the front fogs, the outer sheath is split showing the single -ve lead, and then a +ve lead. The 2 +ve leads each connect to the respective fog lights, but at the other end - they are wired together and terminating in a space connector. I also found a shore red wire with a 10A fuse (still working) one end with a spade connector, and the other with bare wire. I presume this went directly to the battery +ve.
So, I've tested the lights by wiring them via this 10A fused wire and they work fine, but are obviously always on. I did notice a small black box (a relay) in the engine bay (front left hand side) - is this the switch? I'm unsure of how to connect it all up - and the Haynes manual doesn't show the wiring schematic.
Thanks, Alex
