Folks:

I need to check some relays in the fuse/relay box located under the dash on the driver's side. Is there an easy way to unbolt it and let it hang down so one can see the relays? My 95 Cab was originally sold in the US but exported to Canada at some point. I am trying to determine if the daytime running light relay is present.

You can see that by just looking up from below the dash, it sits on downward facing side and is quite visivle. It would be harder to unbolt the panel. Do you know which position to look for? If you don't I can probably send you a copy of the WSM page.


Are you not seeing the parking lights on when the engine is running? They used those lights. My guess is the relay isn't present. The relay is NLA, even in Canada.

Could you please forward a copy of the WSM page. That would be a big help. I have the front bumper off. There is something not right with the wiring. Connector is missing to the right side fog light. Some wires taped up and hanging. When a car is imported into Canada, it has to comply with fed requirements. In this case DRL. The car was imported many years ago so the relay was probably available at that time. I thought that checking to see if the relay was there would tell me if the car was 'Canadianized' the right way or whether someone along the way modified it. it is interesting that both fog lights have 2 bulbs--large and presumably the fog light, and a smaller one, presumably the DRL lamp. On the right side, the fog light is supposed to have 2 connectors. On the left side just one.

Sounds like several details pages are needed. I may not get to this until monday, sorry, company visiting.


There is also a wiring mod than can be made in the fuse pamel,under the hood, to provide DRL. Details elsewhere on this site.


Can't think of a way to make DRL by messing with the connectors at the light.

OK, thanks. No rush. Doing other repairs at the moment.

From the factory, the fog lights were the DRL lights. The relay is not in the main panel, but over to the left, on the left kick panel in a small group. I think (could be wrong) that it is the third back from the bulkhead in a group of four. Your car may have been modified differently than factory to pass regulations

Sorry it took so long but here is the under dash fuse panel.  I believe relay 42 is the one you use.  This pic shows the relay in place, i sourced a used one from a Canadian dismantler years ago.  It was the only one i could find in Canada.

Thank you AZ968. That's a big help. Now if I can only wiggle my way under the dash! Sorted out problems with the fog lights themselves--right side fog lamp assembly is not for a 968!!!! It is for a 911. That is why I was confused with the two sockets on the assembly and I didn't have any wires to connect to it. Who would put a 911 light in a 968?????   They do look somewhat similar but it doesn't fit properly. I need to replace with the correct one. However, they are hard to find. I am looking for a decent used one. So far I have tried DCautomotive, parts heaven, and Sierra Madre, 

 

Does anyone have a suggestion to source a used fog lamp assembly 95 968 Cab.

Try 20th St Auto in Phoenix, Larry, there have several 968's on their salvage lot.


I always found that lathering up in Crisco helps me slide under the dash.
