Rear fog not working. strange request please

[graham-gti]

Hi guys,

As the title suggests my rear fog light isn't working. I'm not getting any lights on the dash but when I turn the fog lights on the rear one doesn't work.

Any suggestions?? I've checked fuse and bulb already.

Thanks

Have you pulled the switch towards you 2 clicks?  First click only switches on front ones, second click switches rear one on?

[graham-gti]

Haha yeah I've done that

Tried another bulb?.

[graham-gti]

That's my next option but I thought it would have come up on the dash :/

Yes it should come up on the dash as faulty but worth trying the bulb just in case.

Also check the wires between the body and tailgate to see if they have not broken. Would prob throw up a bulb out warning but worth a look just incase

Cheers for all the help guys I'll check tomorrow

Strange request but could someone turn there fog lights on, fronts and rear, and send me a pic of there light switch so i can see what colours the symbols go.

Thanks

Should be green for front and orange for rear buddy

[graham-gti]

ok cheers mate. the rear symbol (orange) isn't lighting up on my lighting switch so i am wondering if its the switch

[TAPPY]

It could possibly be a switch they are easy to get out if you know somebody with a mk5/6 who would let you borrow their switch to check the fault

[graham-gti]

im gonna get some chrome switches soon so ill check it then. in the mean time ill bridge the wires with a paperclip or something to pretend I've switched it on and see if it illuminates. will eliminate the switch atleast

[graham-gti]

so I've done some searching and I've found that if i remove the headlight switch and set it to rear fog on and test for resistance between pins 7&8 it should give me a reading, if its open circuit or a super high resistance then its a faulty switch.

Can anyone double check and confirm what i have written is true?

thanks
