   Afternoon lads
   
   I've just got myself a 2003 VTR and everything's fine after a little help from previous threads in your forums. However, I've got a problem with the front fog lights and electrics are really not my strong point.
   
   I've checked the bulbs and fuses and there all fine. I got the Haynes Manual from a friend and checked the wiring and as far as I can see the earth on the passenger side wing is fine and I've followed the rest of the wiring as best I can.
   
   Everything looks ok but still no joy. I've looked on previous threads and there's a mention about the relay and it being yellow, however I've only got a green one in the engine fuse box.
   
   Am I missing one? Is the wiring harness incomplete?
   
   Any help is appreciated.

   Err on the inside of the car under dash next to the fuse box there is a little bracket with relays on, check if there is a yellow one there mate

   No yellow relay under the dash.
   
   I've removed the engine bay fuse box to check the wiring to the actual fuse (F6) in the manual and there's only one wire going in where logic dictates there should be two to complete a circuit.
   
   Stumped now!
   
   Any ideas.

   Where you live? Electrics is a hard thing to explain someone might be willing to lend a hand

   Cheers lads.
   
   Been through the wiring diagram again and there's either a wire missing to the fuse to the battery or to the relay to the fuse. Hopefully I can sort it from there.
   
   What I don't understand is why it's not there, I'm the second owner and the last owner was a 60 year old woman. Couldn't see her disconnecting the fogs.

   Just been to look at a 1998 VTS in a scrap yard to compare wiring and relays.
   
   Wirings the same so looks like I'm back to square one.
   
   In case anyone looks at this in the future and it might be of help. The relay in the engine bay for the 2003 is green and not yellow not that I know what it controls (if anyone can confirm this then great).
   
   In the dash fuse box the very left hand relay is brown and says ABS on it and on the 1998 this is again yellow.
   
   Hoping that the one in the engine bay is the fog relay but the Haynes Manual doesn't say.

   Don`t rule out the stalk being faulty either mate.
