Fog Lights not working

None of the fog lights work front or back,
the dash light still works but no lights.

I planned on checking the fuses but it's been pissing down all day so haven't had the chance,
although I doubt both fuses will have gone at the same time,
I have read there's a relay for the fogs under the glove box,
but I can't find it for sh*t.

Mine didn't work when I bought the car, took the top cover off the steering column and the white wire from the stalk had frayed/snapped...

Right then Raz, you're going to have to help me out with this,
i'm not fiddling with the thing that controls the entire car,
plus I don't know what i'm meant to buy to fix it.

No no no, the UCH has a tab on the back of it, which the holder for those relays hang off.

Carl doesnt bother with front fogs. Only rears so they must of been working lol

Well i'm back to square one of not knowing what the f*ck i'm looking for,
i'll just have to hope I don't end up driving through fog ever again,
I can't replace a relay if I don't know where it is.

Right, the front fog fuse was broken so i've changed that and now they work,
but there's nothing wrong with the rear fuse, but I swapped it anyway,
the rears still don't work and there's nothing wrong with the bulbs,
is there a separate relay for the fronts and rears, or just one that controls them both?

No help to you but hoping you could help me (same problem :D)
Would you mind letting me know which fuse it was please mate?!

All the symbols are on the back of the fuse box cover,
the dipped fog symbol is for the fronts and the normal fog symbol is for the back,
same as on the dash.

Discovered one of the rear lights wasn't working either,
turned out to be corroded contacts in the end,
scrubbed them with an old toothbrush and everything works now.

I eliminated all other possibilities, fuses good, relay obviously works because one side was fine,
all bulbs worked because I swapped them round, so that just left the physical connection,
if i'm going to one day build a Capri to my liking, i'd best start fixing sh*t myself.

Although I hate working on Clio's, stupid bloody things!
