    fog light switch has no power

    Ok I followed the instructions on hooking up the oem harness, hooked everything up turned on my headlights and pushed the fog light switch and it doesnt turn on.(there's no light from the switch itself)
    Is there any way to rule out a piece of the harness that might be bad. Like if the relay was bad would it atleast turn on the fog light switch light? I double check my grounds and they're good. My only guess with out knowing if the relay would cause it to not power up is that the switch is bad. I'd rather not go and buy a new switch without knowing for sure if it's the cause. Is there anyway of testing it or testing any of the parts without replacing? Yes I also checked the fuse it's still intact will be replacing it when I get off to rule that out. Just figured I'd ask before I embark on the journey.

      I'm not really an expert here, seeing as I've got my own fog light problems I'm working on. But I can try to help rule out some parts of it, or maybe figure out where to look.

      I believe the 'B' wires connects both lights together, and is connected through a coupler to the wires going to your fuse box. I forgot to reconnect this connector, and my lights didn't turn on, yet the switch's light was on inside the car. I'd look at the wiring between your switch, inside fuse panel and lighting connectors in the engine bay fuse panel first and go from there. If you're able to post some photos of your install it might help.

      Also I don't think you really need to bump your post two hours after creating it.

        Appreciate the help, and as far as the bump I was at work and just figured I'd try to get it back up since I was getting off and was hoping I'd get a response before I got home.
        well I switched out the plugs that go under the dash the number 3 and 5 and one turned on and the other bulb is burned out but the light on the switch still isn't lighting up but atleast I know everything else is good.

        Thanks

          It's possible the light in the switch is burnt out. I probably tried 5 different ones from junk yards before buying a new one at my Honda dealer. Probably the same for yours. Swap the light from your defrost button to be sure.
