Fog Lights

I have this strange problem with my driver side fog light and side marker.

Well, they don't work . Both of them don't work which is what is strange. They are attached through the same cable. Could this be a fuse? Would a fuse just be for the driver side fog light and side marker? Or could it be something else. The next thing that is attached to those cables is the driver side front turn signal, and it works fine.

Any ideas?

Oh, and by the way, this is for an 86 Trans Am.

well if they are running in a series like you said, you might have a burnt bulb which isn't completing the circuit thus making your lights not work.

the fog's shouldn't be in series since you can turn them off separately. you've got a bad wire.

the lights don't have separate fuses for each side.

I should take a pic. but it looks to me like its attached in a series. I don't know, all I know it looks like a bitch to replace.
