Nothing to do but pull the lights, check the bulbs, check that power is getting to them (voltmeter in the connecter. If that's OK, voltmeter at the socket.

It might be worthwhile to have someone turn them on while you listen next to the relay. If the relay clicks, you have ruled out a failure of the switch.

On my car(2002), there are two pieces that turn on the light control/turn signal indicator. One is the fog and one is regular lights. Not sure if the 2001 assembly is the same, but, make sure to check the obvious first that you haven't accidentally turned them off. Hope that's all it is.

listen to skydaver thats good advice. also check the wiring to make sure you dont have any shorts anywhere.

I have an GXE which was with out fogs. OP as others have said check your bulbs, fuses, sockets and relay.. My parking light switch acts as my fog switch as I don't have a switch on my turn signal stalk. Let us know how you make out trouble shooting your fog problem. Good Luck

OP, this is going to sound stupid but check to make sure your high-beams are not on. Good luck

Don't forget there are fuses under the hood and inside the car that both relate to the fogs.
