Default Fogs Fogs Fogs

So, I usually don't drive the GX at night, last time was about 3 months or so.
About a week or so ago, I had to make a quick run to the store(In the wee hours of the night) and noticed something was off in terms of lighting. pulled off to the side of the road, yeah a safe spot, and checked to see if the lever's switch was in the correct position. It was..
The last time I did anything with the battery, was when I replaced the spark plugs, which I remember disconnecting/removing the battery. Fast Forward to a couple of days ago, I had some time to check the fuse, and bulbs themselves. I ended up replacing the bulbs just in case and nothing. Yesterday, I replaced the Fog Relay, found in the fuse box/compartment located in the engine bay, on the driver's side, and again, NOTHING.

The headlights, high beams, interior lights, reverse lights, stop lights, turn signals, hazards, brake lights, license plate bulbs, All seem to work as intended. So i'm kind of stumped.

Now I don't really use the fogs on a daily basis, so they are not "That" important but I would "Like" them to work, if that makes any sense lol.

Get a volt meter and check at the foglight connector. If no 12v when there should be, start working your way back.

(My college car burned out both low-beam headlights at the exact same time and I wasted a lot of effort checking the switch, because I was sure it was the only thing they both had in common.)

Its surprisingly common to burn out both, the left and right, bulbs on any of the high, low, or fog lights at the same time.

That or make sure your high high beams aren’t activated. The fogs only work with the low beam bulbs activated.
