Oh CRAP!
Well, I spliced the green/red wire from the far right relay to the much thinner pink from the second to left relay. But then the fogs would not work at all. The only thing that changed is my heated seats and heater/AC/fan/defrosters all stayed on until my headlights timed out.
I wired it back to normal; fogs worked as they did before. So, I decided to give it one more try. This time, like a dummy, I wired the green/red stub from the relay to the pink; no fogs, no heated seats or heater/AC/fan/defrosters.
I wired everything back to normal. Fogs work fine, but heated seats, heater/AC/fan/defrosters and HVAC red LCD display are all dead. Great, it finally gets below freezing in NC, and I lose my heat and defrosters!
Is a main fuse blown? If so, I'll have to have the dealer replace it. Or is it probably something else?
All Canadian Mazda models have em, so it's probably just a small difference in the wiring - comparing US/Cndn schematics might give a clue to the lack of proper DRLs on US versions ! (dunno)Indeed it will qualify. I can't believe that Mazdas don't just come with DRLs like all the cars i have owned since 2000.
...so it's probably just a small difference in the wiring...
Let er rip, but...
do you guys actually think you look cool driving with your fog lights on when it's not foggy? Cos you don't.
You just look like insecure MORONS. easier to paint "LOOK AT ME" on your car

If anyone is interested in a simple way (based on your wiring skills of course) to do this here goes:
(May have to have heated seats for this..)
On small (4 relay) box in very front of engine compartment above fans.
Open top of box, detach from front, and remove bottom cover. Of the four relays, the two SMALLER ones are: fogs (right one viewed from front) and heated seats (2nd from left viewed from front). The pink wire on the SEAT relay provides ignition power (what you want) the green w/red wire on the Fogs relay provides switched power from the headlight relay ( Hate that!). I cut the green wire far enough back that I could splice into the pink wire. Be sure to insulate the left over stub from the green wire. Now the fog relay is "hot" when ignition is on instead of when headlights are on. Done.
(If you don't have the pink wire due to no heated seats..all you need to do is get and ignition source wire to this relay instead)
Now your fogs will come on with ignition and still function on/off from the stock switch (which provides the relay ground thus eliminating the need for an add-on switch)
Cheers.
