1990 Trans Am fog light issue…..

Hi everybody,

So i recently took my car in for rustproofing….and now my fog lamps dont work….all the hazard lights (yellow, red markers) work…..but not the fog lights…..all bulbs and wires are in working order…..just can't get the fog lights to work…..what gives?

Sorry. I had to ask. I did that when I had my dash apart last year.

Maybe the rust proofing caused the fog light to lose ground ?
try jumping a wire to the FL body to a clean spot on the body.
