since i bought the car the foglight switch is broken.. It was wired into the dimmer switch to just come on when the park lights came on, which I am fine with... after changging some bulbs in the dash the fog lights are not coming on.. does anyone have a wiring diagram so i can fix it?
 
See if these will help you out. It took a bit for me to find the specific page (222) in the FSM (Section 8 pg 222). It came from Steve's article in this post:

Thanks @steve!

And if you need the switch and can't find a used one, Rock Auto has them and the relay if needed....

I agree with you. The green with white stripe should go with its mate and the solid green should go to its counterpart, which I see both in your picture. :thumb:
If I read the schematics correct, the Green/White stripe is for the relay for the fog lights and it has a 15 amp fuse in that line. The green comes off of the light switch for power only when the lights are on so when the Green wire has power, it turns on the relay, which turns on the fogs! This is the corrected wiring as it came originally.

So if i splice that back i it will work the way it used to... if i match the wires and buy a new switch i get original functionality back
 
Yep :applause:

I didn't quite word that correctly. What I should have said was when the light switch is on it supplies power to the fog light switch which, in turn, will energize the relay to turn the lights on. If your switch works it should be a very easy fix. Just clearing up the mud.
 
Ya. Switch has been broke since i got the car which is why i assune it was ghetto wired this way.. ill put the green n white back to the green until i get a switch
 
I would do the same thing until I could get a switch but at least now you understand how it works! :)
 
Well, mine had a Peugeot 106 switch there. When I've removed the dash cover, found out that there is no plug for fog switch... Might be hidden somewhere. Only one for the pop ups and another for the dimmer
