Looking for the front fog lamp switch ? where is it?

Submitted by steve magwa on

Forum: 

Ive just bought my wife a Diahatsu YRV F auto circa 2002 and it came without an owners handbook. Ive worked out all the switches except one!
I cannot find out how to switch the front (bumper mounted) fog lamps on?
Am I being thick or what
Also has anybody got a spare owners handbook or leads on where to get one

Thanks

Should be next to the rear

Should be next to the rear fog switch located on the dash to the right of the steering wheel?
For a owners book check ebay...they pop up now and then.

Seconded. But the YRV

Seconded. But the YRV F-Speed (I'm guessing this is your model?) didn't come with front Fog lights as standard. Could be an aftermarket fit, and maybe not fogs but part of the main Beam as secondary drivers lights?
Worth trying the main beams to see if it is. Smile
Or someone has wired them up to the rear fog light switch so both come on at the same time but with the main lights on first. I know Peugeot 206's were like this.

To give you an idea what Dave means here is a picture of my YRV Button Layout;

The front and rear fog light switches are next to each other behind the wiper stalk.

Front Fog light switch

Thankyou for the info
Alas there is no switch for the front lights fitted
Its the HRW switch in that position on this F speed!
I'll have to play with all the others to see if they are wired into main beam/ dip beam or rear fog lamp
It looks like somebody has retro fitted them and 'hidden' the switch.
I'm watching e blag for a owners handbook

Cheers all

UPDATE on 28/4/12

these are the correct fog lamps fitted on the car
BUT they are NOT wired up......I feel a little job comming on and I will wire them into the rear fog circuit

Cheers
