    Fog Light autocheck

    So, if I push my fog light switches, the lights in the switches don't come on, and neither do the fog lights themselves. But nothing comes up on autocheck?

    Disturbingly, this only happened today... after i perhaps put a screw through a wiring loom on the fromt bumper...

    don't think the foglights are part of the autocheck system

      The autocheck doesn't monitor fog lamp bulbs. Sounds like a broken wire as you suggest.

        oops... but that should only affect the front lights?
        I assume a wiring loom going across the front bumper wouldn't affect the rear fog lights.
        Perhaps the screw caused a short and blew the fuse...

        Is there only one fuse for fogs, or separate for front and back?

          Only one fuse for front and back iirc. Mine are also not working - same story as above so let us know if you sort them out..

            Will look at it in the morning.
            I discovered that the vertical bit with the bonnet clip on it wasn't attached at the bottom. So I put a screw in...

              Screw removed, fuse replaced... all is well.
