You know what Brad, it isn't my intention to be rude with my "crusade" over the Rogue T. It's just my forum "bit" and while my stance is correct, it is also superfluous.
So please accept my apology for the smart-alacky tone of my above post. That crossed over into rude and that is never my intent.
I still would like you to refer to your car correctly......

Not trying to assume you don't know how to work the switch, but you know the fogs only work with the low beams on, right?

Turn the light switch two clicks to the right, then pull to the first detent. The second detent is for front+rear fog that isn't installed on US models. If your high beams are on, the fogs won't work. The positions to the left are for "standlichts."

If the switch is in the correct position, it might be the fuse(s), might be the switch, might be the relay.

And I really don't care whether there's a T or not, cause the fogs work the same on 300D turbos, 300D non-turbos, 300CD turbos or non-turbos and 300TD turbo and non-turbo wagons. Unless the fogs are somehow turbo-charged...

I'm really not usually part of the 300DT/300TDT et al discussion, but it is easier when someone refers to their car with the correct nomenclature, which to me includes the year, especially regarding 300D*** (*= wildcard). If you have a 300D turbo, it helps to know that, if it is a 300TD, it might help to know if you've added the TD for turbodiesel and it isn't a wagon (TD = diesel wagon), or if it's a 123 body or 124 body (year helps here).

Sure Jimmy can be an ass (just kidding Jimmy, ... or am I?) about it, well rather bold anyway, but whether his flavor of accurate trunk-badge crusading is perfect or not, the message is PLEASE BE AS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT YOUR YEAR AND MODEL WHEN ASKING A QUESTION. If there's a better way, so be it.

Thanks so much for being the moral compass of the forum... or is this more baiting? I do believe the caped crusader has disregarded you as irrelevant and is ignoring you.

Back to the OP - if your fogs aren't working after you've checked the fuses, PM me and I'll see if there's something else I can recommend.

Oh man I spent nearly a DAY messing around with the fogs on my 240D before I figured this one out... Shoulda known, shoulda known... Finally noticed the brights on, shut 'em off and "SONOFA!"

Well, I'm back. Maybe I might have over reacted...but the fact here is that you all know the MB that I was refering to...and after all the fun you guys had with this post, nobody came up with the answer to the problem! I will, however, come up with the answer for this problem. It looks like this one has stumped everyone! When I do come up with the answer, I will share the end result on this post and as "God is my witness" I will only post with the correct reference to the model if thats what it's going to take to get a legitimate answer to the problems that I have in the future. Remember guys...This is my first diesel. I have two others, a 1977 450 SL and a 1986 420 SEL(I believe I am refering to these correctly) so cut me a little slack on this one. I am having so much fun with this one, I am looking for another diesel.

Thanks,

Brad

Just roll with the bit Brad. It isn't a personal affront.
Folks gave you some things to try, but we can't just select a bold font and say for sure what your problem is.
Remember, after you ask, do what folks suggest and then report back your results. That might jog a memory or idea from somebody else. Sometimes it just takes the right person who has dealt with this exact issue to login and notice this thread, and boom you get an answer. Other times it is a process of elimination, so follow the steps.
BTW, the 1977 450 SL and the 1986 420 SEL did not have any rogue "T"s that I could find, so you're OK.....

Here I am! I am 300DT Penguin!

I will battle that confounded Batman's crusade on educating the masses on the TD's! I will perpetuate the general public's ignorance on w123s nomenclature!



Fear me!!!!

Edit: Jimmy I just like giving you a hard time. I personally love this running gag
