fog lights not working

[thesauceman]

:repair: I recently put a doghouse on the front of my wrecked Jeep that has the foglight harness on it, and the light switch(light comes on), and a new relay, along with new fog lights that plug up with factory plugs. They still don't work. Any clues?

maybe check the fuses or fuse

Way ahead of you. checked connections, fuses, relays. Checked for pinched wires.

OK, a few "just to be sure" kinda things. Headlamp switch ON, foglight switch ON, headlights in LOW beam.

Do you have voltage at the lights? Do you have a good ground? Can you hear the relay cycle as you turn the fogs on/off?

if you cant track down the problem just run new wires. not that hard to do and might even take less time then trying to find the problem

I finally got around to checking it. The relay was clicking so I checked the wire harness from main light harness connection in the engine compartment to the lights. The main connector has been thru some miles but wiggling the connector and the harness did the trick. Might have had a pinched wire, who knows? Thanks for the help!!

A pinched wire, or the connector prongs have come loose (which happens, give time and vibration...)

I have a set of long-nose pliers that I ground to a FINE point just for this sort of thing - comes in handy every now and again...

I hope it is the prongs. much easier then finding a pinched wire. Thanks again for everyone's help.
