Switch for Fog lights

[NedFlanders]

I've had my 350SE for two years and I still can't figure out how to turn the fog/ spot lights on

Hi mate


With the ignition on turn on your main headlamps...Apply full/High beam and then switch the front fogs/Driving lamps on...They should work...I take it they flash with the pods down?

[NedFlanders]

Hi, Is there a separate switch, or is in the main light switch?

[mrzigazaga]

Im not familiar with the 350SE switches...Do you have a headlight switch on the steering cowling on the left hand side or do you have a switch on the centre console?...Either way you should have a separate fog light switch, Normally the two lower far left and right are the fogs...

These are the switches for my 390SE with a "spare" switch thrown in:

Wow an extra switch...Could be wired for a manual fan override...Or sidelights...

You could rewire your lights. Much quicker than trying to figure out which wire is which. Very simple to do with a relay kit.

On my 390SE that switch is wired to 2 fans in the engine compartment either side of the engine near the bulkhead. Not sure what effect they are meant to have and the only time I have switched them on was to find out what the switch did.

Wasn't there a difference from the early wedges to the later ones in that the early cars had to have the main beams on and the later cars could turn the driving lights on by them selfs?

Hi Charlie I think thats only with a modification...The driving lights flash but have no separate switch..

It would be good if I could have sidelights on with them if I wish or just sidelights but wires need cutting and I'm not in the habit of doing that....I was looking into having a separate switch for the sidelights but more important things came up....My light pods......

This the Dash on my 350SE, note two blank switch positions

No two Wedges are quite the same!

Its handy to see the photos of the wedge centre consoles. Your photos show the legends for the heater controls which mine does not have. I've been trying for several years to work out which position is screen/footwell/ hot /cold etc but the heater is so rubbish moving the controls doesn't make much of a difference. More photos please as none of yours are quite the same as mine!!! ps. I hope I haven't hijacked a thread.

Hi mate...Now do not quote me on this but with my 350i when the left dial is showing red then warm air comes out the vents...When showing blue I have warm air coming out of the vents......The right hand dial when to the left blows on the screen...When to the right it blows on the screen...And in the footwell...Although I could be wrong and its just a draught coming in..
I get air out of the front vents whatever the dials are on....Don't you just love it....

The previous owner of my 350SE, told me when I bought it, " Don't Touch the heater controls,
the heater works, if you touch them and it goes wrong, it a nightmare to fix".

The heater does work,I have left them alone!!

[wedgewood]

Hi Zig.

Thanks for that.

It sounds like mine are working perfectly then!!

Front fog lights on the 350SE (well mine anyway) are full beam in addition to the main head lights. So :-

1. ignition off. no flash, headlight switch sidelights only, no pop up, no head lights.

2. ignition on I(radio)same as above.

3. ignition on II. 1 click pods pop up, sidelights on both main lights and the bumper mounted ones.

4. ignition on II. headlights on(headlight switch 2 clicks) the headlights are on, little sidelight are still on, full beam works on both pods and bumper on flash an selected full beam.

Heater workings

1. roof off, n/a

2. roof off when its a bit cold put it on hot.

3. roof off and is chucking down, put roof on and set the heater controls to either dry your leg or your carpets.3 settings for this one.
