this is regarding the 96-98 square foglights (depo i believe) and the fuse is the one in-line with the lights
my foglights worked perfectly fine for a couple months when all of a sudden they didn't anymore. i discovered the fuse popped. so i replaced the fuse and it keeps happening. so i investigated and saw condensation in both lenses. i then opened up the back of both lights and discovered nothing was wet in the actual connection area. put the lights back on, replaced the fuse, and it worked for about a week. did the same solution twice more and worked for about a week each time. now whenever i only replace the fuse it doesn't work, i have to open the back, fiddle a little bit, then they work for a week.
i can get the relay to click (which was replaced) but everytime the fuse goes. the switch still lights up. anyone had the problem before and know the solution?
also... a small bit of background... i had to make a new ground out of the black wire comming out of the relay [just tapped right into the wire (like a T connection)] to make the foglights work... and where the red wire inside the car is supposed to connect to the headlight control thing it is not in the spot where the instructions and online say to (would not work)... i forget where exactly it is plugged into but i can check if anyone is interested... thanks to anyone who reads the whole thing
