Question fog lights not working....

on 2000 RL. What could be the problem? I push the fog light button on the dash and the light on the button does not even come on. Fuse is fine....is there a relay or something that I need to replace

Thumbs up

thanks both!!! I got it fixed....it turns out that who ever did the repairs before, they connected the high beams connector to the fog connector!!!(what morons!).

I think previous owner got in a wreck and took it to a body shop and when they did the repairs, they didn't connect it right and also did not re-set the SRS light....

I got the fog lights and SRS lights fixed for $60 (most shops will work for 1/2 hour and charge you for full hour but it really did take one hour and he really did work on it for one hour since i was standing there and watching!) from a buddy's shop in chicago.....If anyone needs a mechanic in Chicago area, pm me and i'll give you the info....

the fog lights bulbs, on the other hand boy oh boy....i purchased a Eurodezign bulbs, looking at the ad on EBAY for $25.00 for pair...what a biggest piece of $hit! GAR - BAAAAAAA-GE! the fog lights look like $hit, i mean embarrassingly $hitty! it looks like the OEM interior lights with the orangey hue.....I'm spending another $60-80 to get PIAA bulbs.....

Thanks for everyone for chiming in though!
