Yep this all seems ok,

right, Think im getting to the bottom of this, so is there a way to tell which wire is which coming from my fog light?

What kind of idiot just takes the live wire and screws it into the body to get it out of the way.

So the fog light wires must have been cut.

I have two wires coming from the fog light which are just dangling free

A live wire coming from the front fog light switch which for some reason was bolted into the chassis.

Ive unbolted it and its just on the carpet now, its not causing any problems ...

Thanks for the reply, ive just done even more research.

So could the live wire to the fog light being earthed cause the fuse to blow?

Two wires from the fog light, will one connect to the live wire and one be earthed? how do I know which ones which?


There is only one wire in each pin btw

it was a private purchase. Its had a lot of documented work done to it, so I'm 80% sure its not a complete shed

So my Freda came with a lovely flush fog light in the bumper, but it doesn't work.

Pressing the little fog light switch blew my headlamp fuse.

Ive taken everything apart and cant work out how its all meant to work.[

Thats the photo of the switch in ...

Its actually due one in September so going to take it to a garage for some preemptive TLC.

No smoke ive seen. Could be soot. I'm like a new father worried about everything.

Hello! Im the new proud owner of a diesel 95 ford freda.

Its had a lot of work done to it and it seems to be in pretty good condition overall.

I have it backed up to my white garage door. (About a metre away maybe enough to open the tailgate) and I have started it a couple of times to pop the top ...
