Fog Lights

Hello All,

I can seem to fix the fog lights on my 2001 EB Expedition. So far I've:

Replaced the fog light bulbs
Replaced the fog light fuse (#27, 5A)
Replaced the fog light relay (#206)

Could anybody point me in the right direction before I head to the dealer to pay $89 bucks for something possibly simple?

Thank you!

Barry

Could be some thing as simple as them not being connected, (im sure you already checked) check to see if you are getting power on the light switch itself. Never know

Wow! You guys are fast. The amber light illuminates and I can hear a click when I turn them on. I haven't actually put a multimeter to the switch though.

so you have power going to the switch...check for power coming out then on both sides of relay then @ the lights...may be a bad ground @ lights

speaking of foglights, I have a question. On my 98 expedition, it did not come with FL installed but there is the plugins in the area where they go in the bumper. There is no icon on my light switch but it can be pulled out when the headlights are on. I am just wondering if i bought a set of foglights, would it be a simple install and work just fine being the wiring is already there, thanks for any help. Happy Holidays to all

Same solution as the OP - put a multi meter on it and see if there is power at the harness.

No, you need a different switch as well. I remember the original switch on mine was the same way, but would not control fog lights.
