independent fog lights ATTENTION JOSH!!! help....:(

[lilm]

ok well i started doing it....and everything seemed fine but your last step the one where you ground a red wire with a blue strip...i did that and the car refused to start i put another butt connecter to restablish the regular connection so...what now....the fogs still dont work i did it the same way as you by going to the cig lighter

[lilm]

ok im not freaking out anymore....the car seems fine i got the flr going to the cig lighter but it still doesnt work .....and i just kept that grounded wire alone...that ok for a little bit or should i freak out sommore

[WTF??]

i did this like two weeks ago so im still fresh on it........

Under the steering wheel column, make sure you tapped into the correct 18g red w/blue stripe.... cuz theres two red w/ blue stripe... the other one is the 16g (bigger)- DO NOT TOUCH THIS ONE

my 2000 didnt even need that extra ground... what year is your solara?


and also be sure if youre using wire crimpers, that it crimps all the way thru... mine didnt crimp all the way thru on first try, but all is well for me now

mines a 99

[WTF??]

^ok if you follow pythonjosh's DIY, it should be all good

but overall, check your connections/crimps

[lilm]

yeah there were two red w/ blue stip and i did it to the smaller one and the car wouldnt start...

[lilm]

the thing is i followed exactly how josh did it(execpt for the last ground(right now))
and the fogs still wont come on inless the driving lights are on

[WTF??]

ok so you mentioned earlier that if you left the grounding alone the car starts... what do you mean "left alone"? that you didnt ground it?

[lilm]

ok i spliced the wire and put it onto the chassis and the car refused to start...so im like F*ck and spliced the original wire back together and it started agian so now im dunno what to do

[WTF??]

can you take pics of what you did? it would help us to guide you through

[lilm]

one more of to the cig lighter

[WTF??]

According to this picture:


Doesnt seem like you spliced into the correct red and blue wire.
With the correct wire, you wouldnt be able to see where its connected to.....


The 18g Red wire with stripe that I spliced into was "directly" under the steering wheel and was bunched up with many other wires... I'll use Josh's pic as a good example... if you look at the top of the pic, you'll see the big bunch Im talking about and you have to search through there for the 18g

u think if i put this off for tommorow will it be ok......i mean its working....just dont want some kind of fire
