Stupid question, but did you have your headlights on when you tried to turn the fogs on? 94-98 needed the headlights on, it was the New Edge SN95 models that could have the fogs on with just the parking lamps.

Where the GTS versions prewired for foglamps? I remember those being basic on options.

A multimeter should help you trace the problem as well.

I believe that there is a relay under the hood for the fog lights,maybe its out,not sure if Ford wires relays in but my z28's and Ta's Ive had before had relays.

Make sure you check all your fuses, you could have blown one when you were wiring it all up

YEs start with the basics and check your fuse, your foglight relay, and your foglight cutout relay might be stuck closed(cut out fogs when highbeams are on)

Then get a multi meter and check to make sure you have power and ground.

Some where in this forum "someone will know" But you can change the wires in the fog light switch and they will come on when you have just the parking lights on and they even stay on with the high beams also, I did it and love it!
