Hi - can anyone help?? Just had work done on the rear of my SWB 460 that involved removal of the rear door. Took the opportunity to replace the spring loaded trunking and the wiring into the door from the body but cannot find the wiring for the rear fog light in the body! It worked before the door was removed so the loom must be there somewhere but it doesn't seem to run down inside the nearside rear pillar with all the other wiring so can anyone tell me where it does run? I'm guessing that it fell out of sight after the connections into the door were cut. Grateful for any assistance!

Chris

As no-one seemed to know, I'll answer my own question for the sake of anyone who finds this on a search. The wiring to the rear foglight comes up from the loom that powers the nearside rear light cluster to join all the other door wiring inside the rear pillar. On my truck, once disconnected the wiring had fallen into the cavity behind the light cluster.

Hi Chris

I've just had my rear lights out yesterday cleaned and painted the housing I noticed an extra wire joint in the L/H light and I could get a paint brush a long way into the pillar is this wire to the fog light your talking about?

Yes. Sounds like it. Contains an earth and a live (brown, and yellow with black trace) and rises to join the loom going into the back door. Chris
