Default Which Relay Is The Fog Lamp Relay

Still troubleshooting my factory fogs an want to check out the relay. I looked in the Rave manual but found it rather confusing and it doesnt really have any wiring diagrams or specify which relay it is. I know its behind one of the kick panels but thats as far as I got. If anyone could tell me which side its on and what relay it is. There are plenty of them behind each kick panel and Land Rover seems to be the only manufacturer that doesnt have a label somewhere near the relay banks. By the way while we're on the subject of the Rave manual, do I need to download the while 500+mb file or is the 12mb thing for the Discovery 1 the same thing?

There's your problem. The whole thing has multiple manuals for the D1, electrical, workshop, body and interior, owners. The electrical alone for a 97 is 16 meg. These are all in file "L J" of the main pdf file. Has pictures, wire colors, connector pin layouts, etc. L J is the VIN identifier used by Testbook software at the dealer.

Here's pages from the RAVE - keep in mind their color code, makes it easy to ID the right relay, plus the photo with arrow usually helps. So wires shown as "UP" are blUe / Purple, etc.

Note: I have worked with color blind electricians and they are a trainwreck waiting to happen

So I'm having a brain fart, if I'm staring at the drivers side footwell, the relay all the way on the right (deepest in the footwell) is the one for the fogs?

Is there somewhere I can get their color code without downloading the entire manual? For some reason I cant get that thing to download no matter how hard I try, I keep getting a message for it being a corrupted file once it's downloaded.

Why yes, here it is, in living monochrome. Guess you have to have a PC that is same age as truck for it to work.

Why not take a fresh USB drive to the office or a friend's PC and download to that, then carry with you always?

Your copy will have 10 times resolution of this.

Good idea on the flash drive, I'll see if I can get someone to download it for me. For some reason or another our computer hates zipped files. Thanks for the link!
EDIT: Spoke to soon your link made my PC go nuts haha, I'll get it downloaded from somebody elses computer.
