    Default Fog Light Ghost

    Anybody know why the fog light has been out since I purchased the car, but last night after start-up (leaving restaurant) the F/Fog Light message came on. I'll replace today, as it had slipped my mind, but why the ghost effect, 10 day delay @ least?

    Resolder the LKM and mustard relay. Standard procedure, see my website and find Bruno's website.
    Also clean all contacts there, check the wires, specially where they are crimped for corrosion/oxydation. Use DMM for testing all wires.

    Will my tech soldering ironl do the job, or do I need something a little more industrial?

    See my website below, how to solder electronics, German and English instructions.
    The mustard relay is easy stuff, also the LKM is not that too complicated. many people have done it with a little knowledge about soldering electronics.
    Or bring it to your radio/TV repair shop, done in less than 30 minutes.

    You should be fine with that soldering iron. Just make sure to suck out the old solder first.
