Default Relay/fuses for fog lights?

Can anyone help me figure out where and what relays/fuses are for the fog lights?
The lid on the PDC doesn't show anything for them.

I installed fog lights today and can't get them to work.

I tried searching google and the forums with no luck so far.

If the Jeep never had fog lamps from the factory, the PDC sockets for the fog lamp relay won't have pin sockets for the relay, nor will the fuse have pin sockets.

I'm confused as to what you want.

Okay so no nothing in the PDC for the fog lights.

However, the wires run into the cabin, and I have a switch for the foglights, which has wires running to it.
Following the wires for the fog lights leads me to 2 relays under the airbox. One has 4 wires, the other has 3 wires(however it looks like a 4th was there).
Any idea what those are for? Maybe they are related to the fog lights not working.

What do I need to do to wire these fog lights like from the factory?

The '96 is somewhat of an odd duck in that there are so many changes throughout the model year. I don't have a Factory Service Manual, and the supplements, to show me where the fog lamp relays are located, nor any wiring diagrams. Later years they are located in the PDC, but if someone did an aftermarket fog lamp install and put a switch on the aux switch panel and installed relays under the dash then this is what you may be looking at.

All the pics I have of '96 PDC's do not show fog lamp relays.

Hope someone with a '96 with fog lamps comes along and gives you a hand.

Good luck mate.

Figured it out.

There are two relays under my airbox that are for the fog lights. The wire that corroded and came out was the reason the lights didn't work.
