troubleshooting fog lights
switch is on, bulbs are good, still no activity when testing with a test light. I don't see a fuse for the fog lights in the fuse panel so what is my next step?
thanks

In order for the Fog Lights to operate.
1)Headlight switch must be in Park Or Head position.
2)At least one of the High Beam filaments must work.
3)High beam switch must be in low beam position.
If everthing else is normal, Parking lights and Headlights work, does the Fog Light switch indicator light up when the Fog Light switch is in the on Position?
If it does, the Fog Light Switch is good.
There is a Fog Light Relay located above the the passenger side footwell. You need to drop the black plastic footwell cover and you'll see a group of 5 relays along the front edge of the dash.
There is a group of 2 relays towards the passenger side door.
Swap the relays from one position to the other. (Relays are the same).
The relay closest to the passenger side door is the Fog Lamp Relay. The one next to it is the Courtesy Lamp Relay.
