    Hey guys my name is Amro. Some of you i've met. I used to have the 97 Nissan Maxima. Finally got rid of it and moved on up with a 02wrx. I have two issues tho. The first would be my fog lights dont work. I checked the fuse but it's fine. Second would be the the cruise. Did the same for the fuse it's also fine. Can anyone think of what can be the problem?

    Thanks :lol: :lol:

    did you check to make sure the switches are plugged in?? Since both switches are located in the same panel, and you need to disconnect the switches to remove that panel. I would check that out and go from there.

    Possibly fuses otherwise check to make sure the harness are connected correctly to the switches

    your fog lamps could be burnt out, have you checked the connectors on the lamps? If the lights are working on the switches, the switches are getting power, but it doesn't mean the relays are.

    Also, when you press in the fog switch with the ign on, you should hear the relay click. The fog relay in under the dash right next to the fuse box (I think it is the 3rd one up from the bottom). I would check that for the clicking, and if it does go farther downstream. I would then make sure that you highbeams on NOT on (Unless the fog relay has been modded) and make sure that the bulbs are ok (check the wires with a meter).

    Russ is right, make sure your highbeams ARE NOT on or your fogs will not work. Your fog lamps are run through the high beam relay at one point though, so if your high beams work...you narrowed your search somewhat.

    Looking at the diagram, your cruise control is run through the horn relay...retarded huh, anyways, does your horn work?

    Yeah the problem was that my bulbs were burnt out (Never bothered to check them). Got those replaced for $10 ( You'll find them at walmart much cheaper than any where else). But for my cruise i found out that it was disconnected. I still need somebody to help me connect it for me (i'm new to subaru's). Does anybody know where to locate the relays or what ever it is that needs to be connected?
