Prewired for fog? How to check.

Hi All,

How to check, that your car is prewired for fog lamps.

1) Open Realy/fuse block (IPDM E/R in engine room)

2) Locate connector showed on picture

3) If you have wire connected to pin 86 and 87. That mean your car is prewired.

Have fun!

I was told that all the 2.5S are not wired for fogs.

I heard this too...but then again I also heard that some 2.5s are prewired, based on the options package (Convenience Plus, etc).

Don't quote me on that because I'm not sure how accurate that is.

i actually went to the dealership yesterday for the i-key recall and i asked the parts department and they said that they've found where nissan hid the fog light wires at and the guy said that he believes that all altimas have it but not all dealerships have knowledge of the wire existing.

Actually my car is 2.5SL + everything except fogs and it’s not prewired :-( its looks like packages and options have no influence on type of wiring harness.

I'll take a look at my fuse box soon and see what I find. I would think that if anyone is pre-wired, it should be a loaded SL

I've noticed a lot of SL's don't have fogs... but the fogs are an accessory on the 2.5. I saw a 3.5SL without them yesterday though

Basically if you run two wires by yourself from fogs (aftermarket or OEM) to pin 86 and 87 (left/right fog) through factory wire holders. Then replace switch with it should work as designed.
