Default fogslight arent working?

Ok so today i decided to checkout why the foglights arent turning on. I cant find the fuse for the fogs? But i checked the fused box under the engine bay all seem fine,checked out the wiring is fine.

Took both foglight bulbs out they look fine but i dont know why their not turning on? I turn all the lights on! Nothing no foglights.

Plus im changing the bulbs out for some yellow ones.

Input??

92-94?

you have cornering lights. as in, when your lights are ALL on, and you put on your turn signal, the corresponding light will turn on.


95+? sorry, no idea.

you sure you flipped that switch? fog light switch is usually the little dial after the main headlight dial.

Did you use a voltmeter???? "looking" is pointless, why dont you get a multimeter and see if you have power or a bad ground somewhere???

Nothing on the voltmeter? No reading? There can really be only so much you can trace. Those wires are color coded.
