WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. T1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FOG LAMP 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Fog Lamp.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Place the headlamp switch in the PARKING LAMPS ON position and engage the fog lamp switch.
    • For Fusion or Milan, measure the voltage between the LH fog lamp C152-A, circuit CLF12 (BN/YE), harness side and ground; or between the RH fog lamp C162-A, circuit CLF12 (BN/YE), harness side and ground.
