So I got some fog lights with wiring harness, but no diagram. I've tried searching but could find anything helpful

If you look at the first picture you can see the whole thing, but what I'm having trouble with figuring out is the right part of the harness (the part inside the cabin).

There are five plugs and one cut fuse holder with a broken fuse (last picture). Two of the plugs are marked with numbers ('2' and '4'). '5' is connected to the cut fuse and a plug with a white '+' on it (should this go to the fusebox?). The two remaining plugs have no markings but are plugged with empty plugs. One is coming from the thick white wire and the other from a thin red/black wire (via plug marked '2').

Where do these plugs go?? And what's the tube-like fuse for? (There's another 15A fuse)







Please, help me

 

You're gonna wanna make somthing sorta like this...

Personally I would wire it like this diagram but switch pole 86 and 85 on the relay so an ignition on + is allways connected to the relay and the switch gives the relay ground and not put an indicator light (or if you wanted one you'd have to give it + and let the switch ground it out). It's a little safer that way because if the wire between the relay and switch gets shorted out the lights just come on, instead of having a short circut. If you have any questions or need something more specific I can study the pictures of the wires you have more closely and try to draw one up using your wire colors. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks, but I want to use the factory harness so that diagram didn't help me that much

I can't answer you on that.

My factory harness did not use any round glass fuses at all.

 

I still haven't figured it out yet (working to much)

I am a bit closer though;




Where does the harness plugs connect to the fuse box?

 

Anyone?

 

I picked up a set of OE Fogs absolutely brand new on ebay about 2 years ago. It even came with a wiring diagram/instruction sheet.

I'm out of town right now, but when I come home later this week I'll dig it up and post pics of it if you like.

for ef fogs

That would be awsome

 

you have a jdm one, it wont work on the US crx not sure about ee8...it's rhd and yours is lhd...

 

what exactly about the one from the RHD civic is so different? why wouldnt it work?

But the electrical should not be so different?

Taken from the VTEC supplement manual:

 

I already had a set installed, before I bought the mint ones. So I had to install the harness once already.

I can tell you that I just used on of the "spare" spots on the fuse panel, and had no problems...until I tapped the curb at the post office...smashy smashy

 

Now I got blown fuses and a dead cd player

Tried some combinations of plugs and option slots before I just matched the plugs marked '2', '4' and '5' with the respective slots. Now the 15A fuse, shown in the diagram, blows when I press the switch. I have checked all three grounds, and they all got ~12.4V. What can cause the fuse to blow?

I also blew the no.7 fuse (tail lights) while messing around under there.

And one more thing. What could cause the cd player to die? Can't remember if it happened when I turned the ignition or when I pressed the switch. I believe none of the wires I worked on went to the cd player *confused* And now it won't turn on. I CAN hear some alternator noise from the speakers when the high beam is on though... It's a Pioneer DEH-P77MP.

 

I just got home, maybe I'll dig up the diagram tomorrow...


You may have fried the internal circuitry in your head unit. I had a pioneer deh-p720, and its blown out 3 seperate times.

The electrical system in our cars is very sensitive, so careful what changes you make "on the fly"

I'd appreciate that. Thanks

It ended up being the +12v for the player that had disconnected itself from the harness

Any news about that diagram?

 

Maybe this would help you, I hope.

Thanks!

I've hooked it up the same way, so now I know that's not the problem.
What amperage should the fuse be? Now it's 15A, but blows every time I activate the switch
