I saw this guide-post regarding front fog lights and was hoping for some clarification and help: https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punt...og-lights.html
In the post, it is mentioned not to use any part of the existing wiring circuit or the ECU if wiring fog lamps. Does this apply only to the Grande or to all Punto's? Are there circumstances where this can be partially "ignored"?
I have a Mk2b 2005 Punto to which I want to fit front fogs. I have installed a multifunction switchbank with an active front fog button. When I press the button, (with the main lights on) the FF (front fog) LED symbol lights up in the cluster.
There is no wiring from ECU to front fusebox.
My intention is to take the feed directly from the front fog switch (provided it is a negative pulse), bypassing the ECU altogether, directly to the front fusebox and connect it to T14 (86 on relay).
My front fusebox has a T14 relay and its fuse is fitted. All I require to make this work, is the negative feed from the FF button and 2 wires to the front fog lamps.
I would prefer this option, as it is the cleanest/tidiest and keeps the fuses / relay together in the fuse box compartment, making it look almost "factory fitted" .
Is this feasible? Is there any danger of mucking up the ECU or causing any other permanent damage to the car?
Thanks in advance for any help.
BTW, I did write to the author of the guide, but maybe he hasn't had time to reply as yet.
