Fog lights wont come on.

So my fogs arent coming on. Ive tried checking fuses and all seem to be good. Besides under the hood and drivers side, is there anywhere else they are located? I used a wire and applied power from where the running light fuse to the fog light relay is and they come on that way but not by pressing the button in dash. Tried swapping relays and still no luck. Any suggestions?

You need to check apply power to foglamp switch that is controller by the headlamp switch.

In other words:Check the foglamp switch for power, when you turn the headlights on

More than likely its just the switch. There's a good write up in the how to section on how to re wire the fogs into your parking lights on its own circuit where u can run with them on with just parking lights, low beams, or high beams where all three lights are illuminated. I recently did this andit looks great and really improves visibilty when the high beams are on.

Tried swapping the relays around and nothing. Are there relays anywhere else besides the engine bay?
