I think this might be the one as it's yellow/red but not sure it's goes to the back if the car but I can't see the yellow/red wire on any Of the head light wires
Here is the connector for the fog it's only has 4 wires and the furthest to right is a brown one ( pic not clear)
The connecting pin slot in the middle bottom has no wire going through it
Here is the switch the the bit that says ( 83a) the pin under that goes in to the slot that I mentioned has no wire through it
Hope someone can help me to find out why my rear fog isn't working, and what side does the fog operate at the rear ( right or left lamp or both)

I'm not sure your car has front fogs - do they work??? If so, how do you switch them on?
Does the orange indicator light come on with headlamps on, ignition on and fog light switch clicked to the 2nd on position?
You don't say what year your car is, I have a 1981 wiring diagram and it doesn't have fog light wiring on it, other wiring diagrams are freely available online (rubjonny's sig has a link to loads of useful stuff I think).

you mentioned that you opened both rear lights and they had the same number of bulbs. The fog light isn't in the cluster. Have you got the separate extra light that is normally fixed to a bracket under the rear bumper (offside)?
The 2-click fog light switch is standard, even if you only have rear fog fitted. I think front fogs were only on Campaign models. The Cabby with 4 front lights has inner spots not fogs.
Good luck

Wire the fronts up as fogs but I really need to get one on the rear working or installed for mot, so wondering what the one on the left one is used for ?

If you're having no luck tomorrow I'll check the wiring colours on my car, although its different you'd hope the wire colours are vaguely similar.

According to the Haynes, if you have just a rear fog, it is in the left hand cluster. Wire colours are as follows:
switch terminal 31, brown wire to earth near fuse box/relay plate
switch terminal 83b, grey/white wire to fog light in left cluster, via a single connector behind the instrument panel
switch terminal +, grey/yellow wire to separate 8A fuse
If you have front and rear fogs, then there should also be a white/yellow wire from terminal 83a, and there is an 8A fuse attached to a relay, plus an 8A fuse in the fuse box.
Hope this helps, and sorry for the bum steer about fogs fitted to Cabbys.

I've checked the regulations, it doesn't matter if the LH fog bulb is blown or not there, so long as the right hand fog bulb works fine.

grey/yellow…………….+12V with headlamps on dipped/main beam (not sidelights or off)
grey/white…………….+12V when headlamps are on and fog light it switched to the 2nd (rear fogs) on position
Without looking at the diagram, I think grey/yellow is connected to either the light switch or G10 (back of fusebox) so it gives +12V unfused when the dip/main lights are on.
