Fog lights not working

Fog lights stopped working. Replaced fuse under driver side dash. Do I need to add a fuse to the passenger side (Under the hood?) FR Fog Lights i think it reads. Thanks. I have a hard time believing the lights are blown. The one on the passenger side was working in the past

I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just saying that this forum isn't as populated and active as it used to be, so you might not get a reply until hours later or even the next day.

3 posts in and you're WARNING us? Give me a break.

I could probably help you out but you can go f#&k yourself till you find some manners.

You have to switch them "on". The switch is by the light switch on the wand.
Also if that doesnt work theres a fog light relay.

Relay is most likely in an electrical box.
If you unplug the fog light connector at the fog light then turn the switch on at the wand somehow check for the voltage this will eliminate any circuit issues.

I believe the fog light relay is in the box on the pass side.

If the fog lights are cracked...moisture can cause the bulbs to fail.

I don't know how a relay could go missing without human intervention being involved.

What is the possibility that the fog lights are aftermarket? In that case a Nissan FR FOG relay would not be used. If that were the case, the way you turn them on would be different. The factory Nissan fogs have the on/off switch built in with the headlight switch.
