WANTED - Front fog light switch

[Temeeo]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a front fog light switch. Or is it false economy to get older / previously used item?

PRICEY


I remember fitting an aftermarket( much cheaper) switch to one of my cars so it can be done

That was a first place where I looked and got a bit of a shock.
Will probably have to go down that road, but if I also implement the "Front fog-light switch fix" it should be the first time and the last time I'm going to need to buy one.

Should have a second hand one fully working unit if thats any good?

pm sent.

Part sourced from brccrx, looks brand new, thanks again!

My fog lights are still not working though, I was silly/lazy and never bothered taking the old one out until yesterday, when I discovered that the block connector is burnt/melted too...



Went to the nearest auto electrician I know (Blanchardstown Auto Electrics) looking for the connector, and was told that they are part of the wiring loom. So I'm on the hunt again.

[brccrx]

Some damage there!

Some damage there!

Yeah!

Would you know are these the same on all Mitsis from the 90s? Or is it FTO specific? Would your old GPX that's being broken for parts have one?

[brccrx]

It has it for sure and it should be good, the fog lights were working on it!

that connector is prone to burning because the fogs are wired direct and should really be going to a relay.
there is a thread on the fix here. it will only burn out the switch again if u dont put in your own relay.

Anyone else got another one of these around?
Mine has already been replaced some years ago and I have also done the relay job but it seems to be shot again.

You might be best converting the fog light switch to mirage/lancer/colt one, ive that done since a while and not even have relay, seems very different quality from the fto one!
