Hi guys,
Any ideas here?? Van failed MOT. Fog light works, but the little light on the switch doesnt light up to show its on.
Any ideas, pretty stumped. I changed the bulb on the switch a while ago but its never worked, even though it passed its MOT last yearwith it not working, but thats a different story...
any ideas all?
If its anything the switch is a 3 click job, not sure why its 3 rather 2 on/off, never figured out what middle was

Re: Fog Light Tell tale not working
Second ( middle position) is rear fog , third position is front fogs ( if fitted)
First position is obviously OFF
You can fit a separate tell tale by piggy backing onto the fog light wires and picking up a negative from the dash itself

Re: Fog Light Tell tale not working
Possibly why the tell tale not working then .
I’m sure mine works rears then rears and fronts
All you need for the mot is a warning light on the dash that shows when the rear fog light is illuminated
So a 12v led Or one of those old style dash warning lamps from half wits wired into the back of the switch
