Give your fog lamps a dependable electrical switch with the Standard Ignition Fog Light Relay RY-576. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio. The relay lets the fog light switch control the higher-current feed that powers the lamps. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
How it works: The fog light relay works as an electrically controlled switch. A small control current from the fog light switch closes the relay's internal contacts. The relay then sends the heavier current the fog lamps need, so that current does not have to pass through the switch itself.
Signs this part may need replacing: Watch for fog lights that won't turn on, work only intermittently, or won't shut off. A blown fuse, a faulty switch, burned-out bulbs or damaged wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit first. If a failed relay is the cause, the RY-576 replaces it.
