My front fogs don't want to work
Bulbs seem fine
Switch on dash pulled and illuminates 'warning light'
Have looked through manual to try and find out which is the fuse - and can find none which list front fogs (a blown fuse seems most likely)

I could take it to my local dealer but don't want it to be off the road for 3 weeks while they 'look into it'!

Anyone able to help - have gone through both fuse boxes and none appear (visual)to be blown

Thanks in advance
Iain

It could be that red monaros' are faster than the speed of light and that is the problem - but didn't want to exclude other options!

May be teaching egg sucking here, but as Aussie cars do not have 'Fog lights' they are known as 'driving lights', was there any mention of a driving lights fuse. By the sound of the prob though, I would lean towards it being a relay prob, provided both lamps are confirmed as good.

Stone has got one of mine. The other is OK though. Heard they are £150+ to replace... mad

Too true, to have fog you must have moisture in the air, given that its currently 37 degrees here in Sydney and as dry as a dead dingo's donga that ain't likely to happen.

They are actually Fog lights if you go and read the owners manual. Both the SS and HSV vehicles have fog lights not driving lights.
That is why the police have been know to pull people over here in OZ on a bright sunny day when you have them on!

You need the lights switched to at least parkers to make them work. There should be a fuse under the dash or in the engine bay. I am not near a car at present so can't give you a definate answer here. The panel under the dash just clips on at the top and also has a key for which fuses are which. Under the engine bay, the key to the fuses/relays is under the lid for the fuses.
