Many electrical problems on this model have been due to corroded wires under the radiator.

Spent many a hour fixing under there for numerous problems including this.

Default Rear Fog light.

Anyway, if it is working you can hear it click when you press the foglight button, and the dash indicator light should come on. Pig of a job to get at it. You need to drop the steering column by slackening the holding bolts enough to extract the speedo pod. Speedo pod is very fragile, with lots of flimsy printed cicuit stuff on the back. I opened up the relay case and found that the solder had cracked around one of the connecting pins. Re-soldered the pin (careful not to overheat the electronic components) and it worked OK. Not a job to be tried unless you are familiar with mending PCBs - easier to buy a new relay.

Hi, I have a 1999 V70 XC and the problem is that the left rear fog light just working and the right doesn't also the interior rear light and the rear defroster either. Anyone have an idea that which the problem is? and if the multiple issues are related. Thanks in advance.

I'm presuming you've checked the bulbs? It would be highly unlikely those items would share a common fuse. They may share a common earth point though, so that'd be worth checking.
