Trans Am Foglight Wiring

The foglights have never worked since I've had the car. Checking wiring today, I found that there is an open black wire (gnd) coming from the switch through the firewall. I see no terminations nearby where this might have been landed. Does anybody out there no where this black ground goes? The other two wires coming through from the switch are bown/white and purple. This is the circuit on an '85 T/A. Any help is much appreciated. This is located up near the brake booster, and very close to the foglight relay.
