What is the Fog Light Relay all about?

Your fog lights don’t need to be on if the headlights aren’t on. For that reason, a fog light relay is used. The fog light relay acts as a switch, enabling the fog lights to come on only when certain criteria are satisfied. Typically, fog lights do not come on when the high beam headlights are on either. The relay directs power to the fog lights only when the switch is on and the right lighting circuits are on. The use of a relay means a low voltage fog light switch can be used. If the full voltage of the fog lights runs through a switch, the switch will become very hot and overload.

Keep in mind:

  • If your fog lights are drawing too much current, the relay can sustain damaged; conversely, a bad relay can cause damage to other components in your lighting system.

How it's done:

  • The faulty fog light relay is identified and access panel removed
  • The defective fog light relay is removed
  • The new fog light relay is installed
  • The fog lights are tested for proper operation and access panel installed
  • The fog lights are finally checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Fog light operation is checked when regular maintenance inspections are performed. If the fog lights aren’t working, have them diagnosed and repaired by one of our expert mechanics.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Fog Light Relay?

  • Turning on your fog lights only result in a clicking sound
  • Fog lights do not work and the appropriate switches don’t light up
  • Fog lights are on all the time

How important is this service?

All lights are required to operate as designed for a vehicle safety inspection. Not only will your vehicle not pass the inspection if the fog lights aren’t working, but your night vision will be obstructed. Have the fog light relay replaced as soon as it is deemed faulty.

BMW 328i L6-3.0L - Valve Cover Gasket - Clermont, Florida
If there were more stars I would rate even higher. Once again!!! Keith did a phenomenal job repairing my car. This guy has my BMW smiling and riding pretty!!! After two 'popular' repair shops had worked on my valve cover gasket and charged me outrages prices, it continued to leak. Keith diagnosed the valve cover leaking on his first inspection with an affordable price to repair it. I continued to drive the car in this condition and it begin to smoke and became quite embarrassing when I stopped at any point of destination. I immediately booked my appointment with confidence because I knew Keith would get it done right. He did not disappoint me. No more leaking gasket. Keith is a honest and trusted mechanic. If you want your car done right, Keith is definitely the one to do it. I recommend him to everyone!! Thank you Keith for having a passion in what you do.

BMW 328i L6-3.0L - Electric Problems - Flowery Branch, Georgia
Marko confirmed that the cause for the inoperable wipers was due to a prior repair, and he also resolved an issue created by the previous YourMechanic mechanic, Dan, where he did not reinstall a fuse in the correct position. Unfortunately, 5 days later I'm still waiting to hear back from YourMechanic's warranty staff regarding the final resolution on this problem. My wife's car needs a new wiper relay which was fried as a result of the prior repair. Still waiting...
