96 XJ, and my OEM fog lights were just almost rusted off when I got her a couple years ago, so I just now get the chance to replace both of em brand new, and now when I hit the switch they don't come on. I never saw the old ones come on either. Only hint now is that the little light on the fog light switch in the cabin doesn't come on when it's flipped; so, I'm guessing the problem probably isn't at the lights themselves, although I didn't test them before they went in. All fuses look good.

Any advice on where to look next?

 

I have a 96 and mine did the same thing by the air box there is a connector that lets you pull the whole front clip off with the wires still attatched exept for that one big connector. Mine broke the power wire for the fog lights by that connector.

 

even tho the fuse is good I would replace it just to be sure.... also pull your switch out of the dash and make sure all the contacts are good and they are plugged in...

 

Prolly is the switch if the fuse is good. Mine had the same problem. I replaced the switch and they work great. I guess those switches are known to go a bit.

I just fixed the fog lights in my son's Cherokee. The fog lights didn't work and the light in the switch didn't work either. Had my son perform the rebuild and it worked!
