Both of my fogs suddenly stopped working earlier this week. My manual was stolen last summer in Canada.
Could someone please tell me which fuses in the pertain to the fogs? I think I've checked them all, but I'd like to try replacing the appropriate one(s) before taking more drastic measures.
Is there another possible cause for this??
Thanks in advance,
Sadeeq

You might have actually gotten lucky (if you can call it that) I burned both of my headlights out within seconds of each other once, It was great! Driving down the highway, then all of a sudden...  PITCH BLACK WHERE THE HELL AM I!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE! AHHHHHHHHHHH! Then my girlfriend reached over and hit the brights... yeah, felt real smart! The End.

My fogs generally burn out within a few weeks of each other. Maybe you just got really "lucky" and they did it within a few minutes of each other.
Check the harness for power with the switch on if you want to be sure before buying new bulbs (not that they are really all that expensive).

F5 fuse in the engine compartment box and relay located outside (not on ) of the inside fuse box above your left foot.

Sounds like I'll have to check the fuses and then the bulbs. Thanks to everyone (except the Monk  ) for their assistance.

While we're on this thread, my fogs don't work either. I checked the fuse (good), I looked at the bulbs (both fine). My last thought would be the relay, but the relay for the fogs isnt in either of the fuseboxes. Does anyone know where it is?
