R32 fog light wiring and oem optional fog switch. Please help

[Chris D]

Hello all. I need help wiring up my r32 gtst for fog lights. I have a what I would assume to be a oem front fog light switch. The switch fit a male plug directly on the driver side lower instrument cluster. Is this a fog light switch? Also the front end wiring has 2 identical male plugs just under both front headlights. I would assume these to be the oem fog light wiring. I plugged the switch in and the fog lights and got no light. Maybe I’m missing a relay or fuse. Does anyone have any input on the subject. Thanks

That switch is not from a 32. The stock switch is up on the cluster surround. Check picture below for reference.

I’m pretty sure that’s the oem rear fog light switch. I’m 100 percent positive that the switch I have came from a 32.

BOoStEr was on track with my ideas. With that being said does anyone know if the 32 has a fog light relay hidden anywhere?

I don't recall a spot where that switch would even fit? The GTS-t lower surround locations look different.

Looks like you've pulled that harness + plug from the lower left leg position? The OEM harness runs from the top right near the OEM plug... 

Full wiring documentation also inside the 32 service manual.

Yeah it fits in these cut outs.

Yes left lower panel. Plugged right in. I’ll look in the manual. Thanks

Take your cluster surround out and investigate the wiring + plug where the OEM switch on the surround sits?

In my GTR that's where my front fog lights are switched on/off.

Found in in the service manual, there appears to be no relay on the 7 pin switch. So I’m thinking either 1 of 2 things. 1) I’m missing the fuse or 2) I have the led wiring backwards. I’ll check out tomorrow.

So I’m trying to figure out what this light switch actually does. Does anyone know? Looks like it’s a 4 pin connector but 2 are blank. It’s not the “fog light switch” since that one has 7 pins per the service manual.

The only foglight switch I have ever seen in an R32 is the one on the binnacle between the rear demister and the headlight switch.

I've also never seen it do anything because I don't believe I've ever been within 20 feet of an R32 with foglights.

I have had two R32 GT-R's with different headlight configs. Current one has N1 headlights with integrated foglights the other had them mounted conveniently in front of the interwarmer. In both cases, controlled by the button on the cluster surround as per  @jmknights93  pic above.

Well this makes everything confusing then. Lol. Going to try and sort it out today.

I believe these to be the unused oem fog light connector under the front headlights. 

[jmknights93]

Yeah, that's the stock connectors. Where'd you find those?

Under the front headlights taped back.

Ok guys I have solved the fog light issue. I had to plug in a connector to the upper right side cluster (between rear defrost and main Headlight switch). Fuse was already there. The connector was taped back(never used). Thanks for all the replies. 

[Chris D]

But... I still have a question. What does this go to or control?

[jmknights93]

Most likely the auto spoiler wiring as that's where the switches were.
