Default Fog light install issue - 2001 V40

Hey guys, new member here

So I have a 2001 V40 which didn't have fog lights when I bought it. Saw that my local scrap yard had a V40 with fog lights, I went ahead and got them + the headlight/fog lights controller in the cabin for cheap.

The donor :


When I installed them on my car, I noticed it already had the connectors for the fog lights which were plugged in a dummy plastic plug. When removing the connector the contacts were clean and looked like new. I changed the fog bulbs and installed the controller but they won't work. I check the fuse and it's all good. The controller will work for the headlights and rear fog light but not for the front ones. When I turn on the rear fog light there is a light on my dashboard to tell me it's on (like it was before the install), but there is no light in the dash for the front fog lights.

There was a second V40 at the scrap yard, took the headlight controller and it does the same thing, doesn't work. Any one have an idea?

Fog light install and headlight wipers removal :



This wouldn't be complete with a few scenic pics of the car itself

Fuse ok? Do you have the correct dashboard switch installed and does it have voltage up at the switch?
