My fog lights don't work on either side. After trying different bulbs, I tested for power with a VOM - no power. Next, I swapped the fog light relay out with several others...still no power.
What are the next logical things to check? Do the fog light switches go bad? Thanks. |

Fog lights are working again. I appreciate all the help. To summarize the problem,
I hereby charge myself with two counts of being an idiot: Count #1: The original "problem" was due to the fact that I did indeed have the hi beams on and didn't realize the fogs only worked on low. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Count #2: Due to the "problem" discussed in count #1, I wanted to check the bulbs, so I popped the covers off. I left everything apart while troubleshooting. When the bulbs looked fine, I checked for voltage to the bulb and got nothing. I kept using the piece that holds the bulb for ground. The problem is that the bulb holder doesn't get grounded until the lens in installed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I ended up busting a diode on a headlight motor during this ordeal so I added another item to fix while chasing a problem that didn't exist.
