My 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport fog lamps are not working.I replaced the factory switch ($30) and then they turned on, only one worked so I replaced both bulbs. Now the switch doesnt light up and neither lights work. After that I replaced the relay under the hood on the passenger side and they still dont work.I have even tried hooking up an alternative switch. Is there a fuse that I missing or something?

They are not numbered in the power dist ctr, is it a small fuse or a large fuse, how many amps, and can you describe the location?

Awesome.I will try that when I get home.I know for a fact that I only have one fog lamp relay. Do I need a relay in the 'Fog Lamp Relay No. 2 (DRL)" position?

Well my fuse slot is missing the wiring that is needed for fuse #25 and the "Fog Lamp Relay No. 2 (DRL)". I took it apart and see that no wires are going to those locations, fuses 18 to 25 have no wiring and the Fog Lamp Relay No. 2 (DRL) and the anitlock brake controller relays have no wires. So I decided to go to walmart and buy some cheap fog lights just to bypass the whole factory wiring deal at least to get some fog lights working, and I cant get those working either. They are simple too, just hook them up to the battery and ground them. The switch lights up but no lights?
