89 t/a no power to fog lights? help me out

Alright so im trying to troubleshoot a fog light problem.


i plugged in the fog light to stock pigtails and i get no power to them with either high beam or low beam.

I ran straight voltage to fog and bulb turns on, so fog is good.

I jumpered the red and white wire with the purple wire on what i believe to be the fog light relay, pic below

even after the jumper still no light from fog.

So im ovbiously not getting power assuming im jumping the correct relay connections.

Is there a fuse for fog lights? maybe a combined fuse or something? because i checked the fuse diagram for the 89 t/a and there is no fog lmps fuse like the camaros.

Did you check the wiring behind the switch to see if you are getting power there? Its got to be something simple. If I remember correctly the fog lights on a camaro tie into the headlight harness so if the trans ams are the same and your headlights work its not a fuse.

well i didnt consider the switch itself because the light behind it lights up so i figured it was powered correctly.

Ive been reading that there is a fusible link for the fog lights, does anyone know the location?

the only fusible link i know of is the one near battery and the starter one.

Is there another somewhere?
