Intermittent Fog Light Issue

[Hoosier Daddy]

I have EC High Output LED fog lights. Never had an issue with them before.

Went for ride yesterday and had no fog lights upon start up. Took a 20min ride to lunch, got off bike with bike still running to check fog lights and they were on. So fog lights came on sometime during the ride.

After lunch no fog lights on ride home. Did some experimenting in garage & sometimes fog lights would come on but mostly would not. I took out left glove box and sprayed all fog light connections with contact cleaner. Took off lower cowl and sprayed main connections with contact cleaner. No help and now fog lights rarly come on. My fog light "button" is lighted as normal when bike is on.

*I was having issues with my GOLDWING HID's working intermittently, however, I sprayed my starter switch with contact cleaner and that fixed that issue so I believe a dirty starter switch was that culprit (unknown if the two issues are related).

Any ideas on what could be going on with my fog lights? Never had this issue before. My last ride was coming home from Harrison which was 12hrs of constant rain (unknown if related).

Appreciate any thoughts on this,
Dan

I presume you inspected all connections when you had the cowl off.
I would try bi-passing the switch to see if they go.
From memory there is a plug connector there to look at as well.
I took out the pocket and the switch holder panel I believe for the fit up.

Problem fixed. Turns out I didn't dig deep enough. Took out left glove box again along with the fog light/hazzard/headlight adj. panel. This gave me access to the main connection that a EC Foglight Reconfiguration Harness was plugged into. Took apart this connection and saw that it was all gummed up. Cleaned with contact cleaner and that fixed the issue.

Kiwi, you were on the right track. I had forgotten the EC Reconfiguration Harness connection.
