1985 Trans Am Foglights won't turn on

I have a '85 Trans Am and recently discovered the foglights don't turn on. When I press the switch, I hear the relay click but no lights...After doing a quick search hear, I found a post about the relay being bad so I replaced the relay with a new one but that didn't help.

I'm assuming since I'm hearing the relay click when I turn the lights on that the switch and fuse are probably OK. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Tom

Thanks Trickster!

Now if I can just find someone local that can explain it to me <g>...Luckily, the car passed state inspection without the lights working so I'm happy about that and will probably tackle it when the weather warms up here...

Thanks again!

Tom
