Fog lights not working
Wire them directly to the battery and try turning them on with temporary wire . If they work it will be a fuse , or a bad switch or bad wire / ground.... If the switch your using operates other lights and they are working then it would be the ground wire .A lot of time the ground wire is hooked to a bad area, or a rusted out area and the electricity will not pass through so the light will not work or it is a home ground and because a lot of newer rigs have so much plastic you actually drilled into a horrible spot. To test... disconnect the lights negative wire (-) and hook a wire on to the end and attach it to the batteries (-) ... if it works when you activate the switch then your good. The other issue is a lot of new lights have a relay switch that gets installed between the light and the light switch. Usually because they draw 30a and up and the switch in the car can not safely handle that much draw without shorting out or going on fire so there will be a small block like piece that acts like a magnetic switch... your lights hook into the block on one side ( high power side ) and your car switch hooks into the other side. ( low power side) what happens is when you turn the car switch on ( low power ) it tells the block (relay) to turn on its high power circuit ( high power). If that is burned out or missing it is a 10 $ part from auto parts . If your not sure look up the lights you have online and see what they come with.
I've a warning message on my dial VSC
The vsc is the vehicle stability control, I aides in even brake distribution and steering controls. Is that the only light on the the dashboard.? Or it the the check engine light on as well. If so you can try this its a quick fix so you can drive it to the deleted or a shop to get the codes read. Disconnect the positive and negative battery cables for at least 10 mins I like to leave them off for an hour or two just to make sure. Then reconnect them and start your car. This clears the pcm of all fault codes until it malfunctions again. But like I said it's a quick fix to get it to a shop. Hope this helps
