Default looks can be deceiving. Might also be the headlight switch. Were the headlights on?

fogs generally work only with the headlights on, but most have a problem wit hthe switch.
Ignition on?

Default Yeah, the lights were on. Ignition on. It just doesn't work..>

Maybe it IS the switch but everything else seems to be working fine. High beam, low beam...it's just the damn fogs! What should I really check for? I'm not all that electrically inclined!

Default Geez, you are OLdSchool. Those went out with points and condensers...

A DVOM is a better choice for the same price

Default I agree, and I have both. But for a simple issue like this>>

I'll always reach for the test light first.

And yes, I _am_ OldSchool. ;-)

Keep in mind, Jeff, before you rag on me more for my ols-skool multimeter, I do own/work on cars with much older fuel injection technology (CIS) than the TT, and the dwell function is necessary for setting mixture.
