tomt tomt Member Registered: 10/11/04 Posts: 564 Loc: DeKalb IL USA	I think this has been addressed before but I can't find it. My fog lights just seem to stay on all the time now. I have an 89. If I push the fog light button, the LED goes off and on, but it seems like the fog lights don't even flicker, they just stay on. Even my Triumph had bright dim and flicker.

Drake Drake Member Registered: 02/19/08 Posts: 32 Loc: Oswego, Illinois	There is a second fuse/relay panel just below the main fuse panel on the passenger side of console. You have to remove the passenger side of the console to access it. Seven torx head screws hold it in place. Once you have it off, you will find the panel(seven relays & seven fuses). On the back side of the removed panel you will find the fuse/relay chart. One of the relays is marked Fog Lights. It sounds like it's stuck in the on position. Try swapping it out with the Headlight or Park Light relay. Hope this helps. _________________________ Drake 1989 Reatta White/Blue BCA #43649

Greg Ross Greg Ross Member Registered: 06/19/00 Posts: 1799 Loc: Prince Edward Island, Canada	Do the Driving Lamps go off with the ignition, in other words do they come on when you start the car and go off when you shut it off? For years I just left the driving lamp switch in the on position and these became my daytime running lights. In Canada I think it was around '89 where daytime running lights became law/ mandatory standard equipment on all cars/ light trucks. _________________________ "Betsy Blue" One Owner?

Ronnie Ronnie Member Registered: 05/23/07 Posts: 713 Loc: Tennessee	I have mine burning anytime the ignition is on. I like to use them as running lights. Bulbs are easy to change. _________________________ Red '88 model A great starting point for new Reatta owners. Buy or sell Reatta cars and parts online. Home of ReattasForSale.com Click Here.
