So I got the continuity tester out, I have power at the fog lamp fuse, but no power at the plugs. WTF is wrong?! This is frustrating.

Everyone having this problem should check the clasp bar. Grounding the bulb and must be closed properly, by making contact with the metal piece on the bulb for the fog light to operate/work.

It looks like all of the other obvious causes have been covered but I also notice most of these SC's with this problem have been lowered considerably from stock. The wires to the fogs run in the wheel well so if you bottom out you hit that harness. I would check there as well for rubs or breaks.This is a DIY to relocate the harness.

That's what I'm worried about since I'm lowered a considerable amount. I'll check that out later today while I'm changing my rotors!

So I've still been having troubles with these damn fogs. Cannot get them on. I don't have power to the plugs and I don't even have power to the fuse....

I just went and bought a brand new Toyota OEM fog light relay, replaced the fuse (wasn't even blown), and bulbs. So now the only thing I can think of is the actual switch on the headlight stalk. I have no idea how to fix this....

But just to clarify, this is the correct fuse for the fog lights? Because when I test it I have no power there with the switch on.

I ended up just saying F it and did it my own way. I bought some HID's and made my own wiring harness to my own switch and just forgot about the original wiring all together.

Not for everyone but I didn't feel like messing with it anymore when I knew I could just run it my own way.
