Hi on my daughters 2002 Grand Special Edition V8 the factory fog lights don't work. I replaced the bulbs and the fuse. And still nothing ant ideas? Also they have not worked since we bought it.

Test the switch. I'm not really sure about your daughter's GC, but on XJ's the fog light switches are notorious for melting on the inside

I played with it. It is on the column runs all the lights everything else works it even shows that they are on. At least the light on the dash lights up! So other than replacing the stalk I don't know how to check it . Thanks for the input

You may have a bad relay.

Have you just turned the switch or have you pulled it?. When I did my buds bulbs on his GC, It took me forever to find out how the fog lights turn on. Pinch like shown and pull out towards the drivers door. That is what my prob was I was just being Duma..lol after I pulled it they came on..

Now you need to figure out why it blew. You have a short or too much load for that circuit.
