Electrical issue with fog lights

fOG LIGHTS/SWITCH WORKED FINE JUST 2 WEEKS AGO.
NOW THEY ARE NOT...I HAVE CHECKED WITH METER AND HAVE NO
POWER EITHER SIDE OF FUSE #1 [FOG LIGHTS].
THE PULL SWITCH ON DASH ALSO DOES NOT LIGHT.
I CONSIDERED REMOVING ALL THE FRONT TRUNK EQUIPMENT
VENTS ,MOTOR ETC.TO GET ACCESS TO BACK OF SWITCH BUT THOUGHT TO CHECK HERE IF BETTER APPROACH.
THANKS FOR ASSISTANCE

FRANK

Good idea, as there are many P-members here to lend a hand.

Do you have a Bentley for your M/Y?

pm me as needed.

Also check this thread from today re: headlights. Possibly the same issue if his is the headlight switch or maybe not. Can't hurt to check and far easier than yanking all the stuff in the frunk behind the dash.

Don't know the year of your car, but the fogs are usually a thick grey wire.

Headlights stopped working

Don't forget to check the relay.
