Ford Mustang (1999-2004) Service Manual: Fog Lamps

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 86 , Fog Lamps for schematic and connector information.

Special Tool(s)

73 III Automotive Meter or equivalent 105-R0057

Principles of Operation

The fog lamps will only illuminate when the low beam or parking lamps are illuminated. Voltage from the parking lamp circuit is used to activate the fog lamp relay when the fog lamp switch is ON. Voltage from the high beam headlamp circuit will activate the fog lamp interrupt relay. When the fog lamp interrupt relay is active, the ground path is removed from the fog lamp relay, turning off the fog lamps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the fog lamps.

2. Visually inspect for the following obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical	Electrical
Damaged headlamp switch (11654) Damaged fog lamp switch Damaged multifunction switch (13K359)	Blown battery junction box (BJB) Fuse 27 (20A) Blown central junction box (CJB) Fuse 38 (20A) Damaged wiring harness Loose or corroded connections Damaged fog lamp relay Damaged fog lamp interrupt relay Damaged fog lamp

3. If the concern is not visually evident, determine the symptom and proceed to Symptom Chart.
