Lighting Problem - Parking,Fog and Corners Out

Got a problem with my fog lights, front corner, and (all) parking lights that have gone dead. Was driving last night and noticed the fog lights and cornering lights all of a sudden went out as I was driving. I did the quick check of the bulbs and fuses and all looks good there. I've got it wired where the fogs will turn on when the parks are turned on, and the turn signal will alternate between the front and side park lights. I'm getting nothing from the fogs, corners, and parks. The turn signals are working.

I pullled the fuse for the fog lamps and tested voltage, and there seems to be no voltage.

One other thing...the inside dash light does turn on when I turn the parks on, but I'm getting no parking lights on the front or back.

Any ideas? My guess is that the parking light circuit is down and that has taken out the fogs since I've rewired them to run with the parks on. Could it be a relay? If so...which one? I can't seem to find the fuse that handles the parking lights. It doesn't seem to be specifically marked. I'm a little perplexed!!!

Found the problem....fuse #5. It just wasn't obvious what fuse controlled those circuits. I'm "lit" again!

Thx

How is a fuse supposed to have voltage when you pulled it out? You check for continuity.
