can't get fog lights to work

[323]

Purchased a protege5 recently and it didnt come with fog lights. Noticed the harness is still under the front bumper (car got in a minor accident on the front left corner it seems) so I just need some fog lights and it should be plug and play right? nope.

I installed the fog lights and went to turn them on and nothing. I have an MSP with factory fog lights installed so it was easy to test what was good or bad here and I'm stumped.

- verified the fog lights I installed on the P5 work by testing them on the MSP and they light up
- fog light switch doesn't light up on the P5. swapped in MSP's fog light switch, still doesn't light up
- the front bumper marker lights turn on
- checked both FOG fuses in P5 and they're fine
- swapped fog relays on both cars. the P5's relay works in the MSP so we know that's not broken
- went under the passenger fender and plugged in a spare harness and plugged in fog lights and still nothing.

besides getting fog deletes or redoing the wiring i don't know what else to do. halp!

UPDATE: i got them to work. i took off the front bumper to do something else and when it was off, the fog lights decided they wanted to work. -shrugs-

Start by using a multimeter to see if you are getting any current at the fog light plug and where the fog light switch goes.
If the MSP fog light switch does not work in your P5, my assumption is that's where the issue is. Start there.
