fog and side marker lights out
I can't figure out my right side fog and marker lights have stopped working I have checked all the fuses several times and all is good. Have looked all around but can't find anything. I figure that it might be a bad relay. I tried finding the location of that relay but I have not found anything. Where can I find the relay and what else should I look at. Hope someone can give me idea what to do.

Yes, the first thing was to change the bulbs, the next thing I did was to check the plug for power and there was none. I bought a bulb for that foglight and it was no good and shorted our again the ground. All the fuses are good so it's some ting in between. So I would like to find out where the relay for the fog lights is at and see if it fried it.

Okay, no answer is better than a wrong answer when it comes to wiring on a jag. I'll check the ground wires tomorrow and if that don't work, I'll take it to Audio Sound in Fresno, Ca. They are really good with electrical. But I don't like to spend the money, but they are cheaper than other places

Tom,
From what you describe, it sure sounds like a ground fault. I am sure both fogs are on one circuit and both markers on another with separate fuses and relays, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lights on each side are connected to a common grounding wire.
Have you tried grounding one of your inoperative lights directly? I have a few wires with alligator clips at both ends which work great for this. They enabled me to identify an identical fault with my wiper unit.
Good luck!

I fixed it. Somebody had spliced the hot wire to the fog light and it pulled it apart. I put on a solder less connector on it and all is good now. Somebody must have needed a hot lead for something. And the side marker wasn't so easy. I finally gave up tracking the wires so I just spliced into the daylight bulb and cut the hot wire that was leading to the side rker.
All is working, I'm happy now
