Rear Fog Lamps Are Inoperative

Diagnostic Aids

The rear fog lamps will not operate unless the headlamps or the front fog lamps are ON.
The rear fog lamp indicator in the instrument cluster can shorten the diagnostic process. If the instrument cluster indicator comes ON, but the rear fog lamps do not come ON, the problem is either an open circuit between the rear fog lamp relay and the lamps, faulty lamps, or a bad ground for the rear fog lamps.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic table.
  1. The front fog lamps will not turn ON unless the parking lamps or headlamps are ON.
  2. The rear fog lamp relay is located in the relay area under the instrument panel.
