MadeInJapan Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 My wiring right before the bulb plug on the driver's side (LHS) on my S70 has a short in it. When I go over bumps the fog light on that side goes out and sometimes comes back on. I've looked at it, taped it, etc...short of cutting the wire and re-taping it. Seems that this wire goes all the way up to behind the headlights and plugs into the wiring that goes to the headlights. If so, I need the wire from there all the way down to where the fog light is with both plugs attached. If this isn't so and someone knows how the foglight wiring is set up, please post. I've searched both in my copy of the Volvo software and on here and find no information. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInJapan Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Found out the "plugs" are called pigtails. Does anyone have this wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmelviØØ7 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Found out the "plugs" are called pigtails. Does anyone have this wiring?Isn't it just a 2 pin connector? I think they use the same ones on fuel injectors and all sorts of other stuff. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't let me know i can get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
