Need help tracing a wire

I have determined after hours ontop of hours of looking at wire diagrams that the problem lies in a green/grey wire. So I go under my dash to look at the fuse box to trace this wire and I cannot not find it for the life of me...

Anyone happen to know where this wire runs? I see a small section of it going to the center gauges

OK, looks like you are trying to trace the wire from the headlight switch to the foglight switch, which also connects to the fuse box at E9.

If that is the case, look for the wire at terminal 58 on the connector that attaches to the headlight switch, and goes to the back of the fusebox (using connector E and pin number 9 in that connector).

The wire then goes to the foglight switch connector at position NS.

It's actually a grey wire with a green stripe.

It's also possible that someone has replaced the wire with something else.
