Icon6 EK FOGLIGHT PROBLEM

okay i have a problem obviously, i went to get my alarm installed when i got my car back the signal lights and my sidemarkers werent working when i turned it on but it would signal... but my fog lights worked. i went back to the shop got that fixed. i get my car back and i tried to turn on my fog lights and it doesnt work now. i asked him what did he do to get the signal lights working he said he just put a fuse in. i didnt have this problem before the alarm. im tired of going to their shop to get things half assed. and usually would prefer to do it myself. ANY HELP WOULD HELP PLEASEEEEE

When he put a fuse in he must have for some reason or somehow unplugged the wire going into your fuse box. Or maybe it came unplugged some where while installing the alarm. Follow the wires for your fogs and make sure its all connected.

i feel thats what may have happened. i havent gotten the chance to look at it because i get up early to go to work i tried to turn on my fog lights and they werent working, however they were working yesterday. i will check the fuse all of the connecting wires to see if anything was unplugged or ripped by accident. thanks for the help.

any other suggestions on what may have gone wrong?

hahaha, yeah i know that now, if i knew how to put alarms on i wouldnt have taken it to the shop. damn corner shops.. i'm still at work and wont be able to take a look at it until i get home. hopefully i can get it solved, but could it be anything else? my fear is he may have ripped out one of the connections but i wont know till i look at the car.

TTT!

How depressing. Paying a shop to break your car.

check your fog lamps wiring with a DMM(digital multi meter)check the ground circuit (ohms)resistance. check the power side12v see where power stops at. trail the power line to the fog lamps fuse, connector ect

thank you for the suggestions, it's a really funny story. i was going through all the wires and even checked the bulb to see if it had gotten wet by any chance. and i found out that the relay broke off the male side. lol. problem fixed

THANKS EVERYONE!
