[V8] Fog Lights

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Most likely a problem with the Fog Light(s) is with the switch.  I'd remove
it, take it apart and lubricate with an electrical contact cleaner the
pieces inside.  I find switches usually don't work because they haven't been
used much.

As to your other problems, the rear lighter probably burned out and needs to
be replaced.  Easy check is to use a jeweler's flat-bladed screwdriver to
remove the cover back there and then Phillips to remove the screws and check
for power to the lighter.  But check/replace the fuse first (front passenger
kick panel).  If the fuse blows right away, the cig. lighter is likely
burned out.

Hmm, both rear windows are inop?  Maybe the rear window lockout is engaged?

I am working on sorting out a few minor issues with the 'new' V8.  The rear
fog works as it should, but the front fogs do not come on at all.  The
triangle inside the switch does not light up whether the switch is depressed
(which may be a mental health issue) or not.  I haven't checked the bulbs,
maybe they're both burned out?  I used to have a '90 CQ that had the F & R
fog light switches wired in such a way that they both had to be on (or off)
together.  Can anybody suggest a logical troubleshooting path?

Also the rear windows (and lighter) are not working, I suppose this is the
dreaded 'wiring to the driver's door syndrome'.

After my first couple of weeks with the car, I must say that the more I
drive it the more I like it!
