did you check your fuses? also the switch for reverse lights on our cars is known to be faulty, it on your transmission behind the front left tire.

troubleshoot man, check for power at different parts of the car. switch-midway-relay(if applicable) and at the device itself. if theres power at your foglights, then your bulbs are dead. (for example) that should help you. get some wiring diagrams from a haynes manual, they should help you too. if you dont know how to do this, TAKE IT TO A SHOP, and dont touch anything!!!

Your best bet is to test the path of power starting at the fuses and going to the switches and then to the components.

did you check ALL of the fuses, or just the ones you think could be the problem? check everything.
