New bulbs, fogs still don't work. What Gives?

My fog lights won't come on...does anyone have any ideas what I can check? The fog light fuse under the hood (in the fuse box by the battery) looks fine. Is there any other places where there are fuses for the fogs or any other ideas that may be causing them not to work?? Thanks, Steve

Im having the same problem and I spent all afternoon yesterday trying to fix it. They were working about two weeks ago. I thought maybe the fuse just blew or something. Ive checked every fuse in the car and every relay, everything is good. Has anyone ever run into this problem? Advise please.

Same problem when I bought the car. The owner/mechanic said he fixed them, only to go dead about 3 weeks later. He said he had to replace the bulbs. I spent on saturday checking fuses and relays, swapping, etc... no luck. Removed one foglight and tried tracing wires but did not find anything bare. Also I have done the foglight rewire, rechecked that work, OK. Any other ideas????

Well mine used to work, and for some reason one day they decided to go out, then come back on. And then after a few days, they would go out, and come back on again. Now, they never come on. Surely somebody has the answer???

I had that problem it and was due to the light stark... inside the steering wheel colum where the fog light switch creates a contact to advise the car to turn the fogs on... must probably the contact has worn out.. well in my case it was... don't know if it helps...

well you should hear the switch go off in the fuse box when you turn the selector right? if you don't then it should be a switch/selector problem?
