Just checking out my VX for MOT on Tuesday and the rear fog is not working. I've checked the fuse, messed about with the switch, plugs etc etc but no luck. Also removed and re-seated the relay but still no luck.

 

Do you reckon it is the relay? How can I be sure before spending £25?

Can you hear the relay click when you switch the fog on?

No - should it be audible?

Yes I've switched the main light switch on. Fuse is ok. Bulb is ok. The switch lights up (Green)

Can you check for, both power and ground ( separate tests ) at the rear end of the car ?

 

Relay failures are possible, but not that common really.

 

Or at the relay holder link out 30-87 and see if the light lights, or at least sends power to the rear. Equally check terminal 30 has 12v power etc
