Foglights not working

Foglights not working
Hi all.
Front foglights not working.
1. Tested the globes, they are working
2. Fuse changed, it was still ok
3. Relay seems fine, but I did jump the pins that I found on another feed, and still not working.
The light on the dashboard to show that the foglights are on does not light up, only the rear foglights does.
Did take out the switch and it seems fine.
Maybe some one can give me the colours of the foglight wires coming going into the switch, so I can bridge them to see?
Any other ideas?

Leroye1, a few checks then we can firm what is bad in your car. First check, do your high beams still work? If no, then I would first replace the relay. If that does not fix it, then you have a bad fuse box.
Assuming that the high beams work, you will need a multimeter and if you look at the top of fuse F2, you will see 2 small silver tabs there. Put the red lead on 1 tab and the black lead on any ground in the car. Do you get 12 VDC with the car turned on? Move the red lead over to the other tab and measure for 12 VDC. Do you get it there? If you get 12 VDC in both places, your headlight switch is in need of replacement. If you are getting 12 VDC on 1 of the tabs, then fuse F2 is bad, replace. If you are getting nothing on both tabs, then your relay is bad and needs replaced.
The hardest part will be touching the tabs on the fuse. you can use a paperclip or something of the like to reach in and make contact with the tab to ensure you are getting a good reading. I would also do all of these checks with the car lined up like you were trying to use the fog lights.
