I'm trying to get my foglights running again. There are no power at the socket and i'm suspecting the relay gone bad. There is a 213 relay that says foglight and my 201 relay seems to be missing. I read in one of the post that this relay is also for the foglight. I'm confused. Are both of these relays for the foglights, what are the different between the two? Should I have both of these install?
TIA.

I've got the same problem with my foglights as you do. Have you got an email address? I'll forward some info to you. My email is ralph@vt.edu

There's a lot of voodoo going on in there. You actually need both the 201 and the 213 relays in place. Then they even tie into the 104/108 highbeam relay, which you should already have in the underhood relay box. The 213 relay appears to be a bridge relay to work between the 201 fog light relay and the 104/108 highbeam relay. So that the fog lights do not operate when highbeam is selected (DOT requirement). What have you done so far? Installed a factory switch and one relay? The wiring is there also for the rear fog light position if you want to install a switch and 1156 bulb in the left tail light socket. But I really see that as worthless. It even confuses US drivers that may think one of your brake lights is stuck on or one side is burned out or something. Not really sure the 213 is required to work the system and I'm not gonna climb under the dash to find out. But you can try just the 201 relay and see if that does anything.

Thanks for the info. I called one of the volvo part supplier and ask for the 201 relay and he said that the ralay is not required and didn't even have it in stock. I might have to go down to the delear and get it. The car came with foglights and somehow it never work. No power at the socket and the switch. Upon inspection there's no 201 relay present. Correct me if i'm wrong the 201 relay goes on top of the 205?

TIA.
