Fog lights not working

I recently purchased an 86 z28 and I found out that the fog lights are not working. So I did a little searching here on the boards to see what I could find and I'm just a little bit confused.

People are mentioning something about a "fog light relay". Where would this be located exactly and what exactly would need to be done? Is this most likely my problem?
I have not yet checked to see if the wiring is broken or the simply the switch isen't working. I have also checked the bulbs and they too are both good. Thanks for any help!

Look on the left fender well near the hood strut and it will be in that area. Replace it and you should be okay. If not, as you have already mentioned not doing, check the wiring and the switch.

Need Help. Is this the fog light relay (Circled in Red)? Also, what is the thing circled in yellow?

Well offhand, that looks like the passenger side of the car. The fog lamp relay would be on the other passenger side of the car (your right as you are standing in front of the car looking at the windshield). That plug you have circled in yellow appears to go to the A/C system.

Well, I replaced the fog light relay and it still does not work. I guess I will check the switch next, then redo the wiring . Anything else I should look for or check? Thanks!
