Where is the fog light relay located?

I've searched till I was blue in the face but can't find the info I require.
Here's the story I bought my car (88 iroc vert) in Jan. It has the fog light switch, brackets, and the fog light wires zip tied in front of the rad. But no fog lights. I bought some and wired them in but there is no power to the lights. I checked with a voltmeter. I checked every fuse in the block they are all good. The stupid haynes manuel is useless. I even checked for power at the fog light switch. And I have none. The switch lights up with the headlights (regular dash light part) but not when you turn the switch on(the ON indicator) I looked for power with the ignition on and off and I have no power at the switch or the lights.
Can anyone shed some light on my problems.

Hey!

Just checking through the Chilton manual. And the relay should be operated off the Headlight dimmer switch and the fog light switch. There should be a Brown/white wire going from the fog ligh switch to the relay. a light green one should be coming out the other side of the relay and back to the Headlight dimmer switch.

Hope this helps.

Andy

It's on the driver side fender, sometimes near the dash, other times near the headlight.

Thanks guys, I found it. It was on the drivers side by the fuel canister, just flopping around not mounted. The relay was covered in corosion so I replaced it now they work fine.
