Default 1995 Fog Lights Shorted.....

I searched around quite a bit only to come up with results for changing the 92-94 cornering lights to fogs.....

My issue is a short and neither of my fogs are functional. Im certain its a bad ground somewhere or a bad relay but Im not sure where or which relays to check. I cant find a wiring diagram either. Yes, I searched for that too.

If you know off the top off your head where these wires run and what color they are let me know. Also the corresponding relay location would be helpful.

TIA!

When I got my car, both my fog lights didn't work. The driver's side fog light was filled with water and slime. At first I thought it was a short too, but it turned out to be that both lights were just out.

I put it new H3 bulbs and cleaned the inside of the housing and they worked great! If you still think it is a short, the fog light fuse is in the driver's kick panel, the relay *should* be in the fuse box in the engine bay (not sure at the moment though).

I really suggest you change the bulbs out first. They're like 5 bucks at walmart.

Already changed out the bulbs and checked the fuses. That was the FIRST thing I did. Im thinking its a relay because when I turn the switch I dont hear any relays click like they should. I have the Mitchell wiring diagram but cant locate the circuit for the fogs. Since Im going to be in there Id really just like to wire them to come on when the parking lights do instead of the headlights. I think that is as simple as moving the trigger wire from the headlamp circuit to the parking light circuit tho.
