Rear Fog Lights not working Dodge Journey 2009
Hi I wonder if anyone can help.
My rear fog lights are not working on my 2009 Dodge Journey, so it has failed it's MOT. I have changed the bulbs but still no joy. I have read about changing the fuse or relay, but after many hours of on line and in car searching, I can't find the exact location of the fuse for the rear fog lights. The fuse box in the engine does not house the fuse for the fogs from what I can see in my manual. There is talk of a second fuse box (in some later models) being in the passenger side but I can't see one. Also I wouldn't know what fuse to change as there's no diagram to say which fuse relates to which electric component.
The Fog Light controller is on the main light control stick connected to the steering wheel. All other lights are working.
Any help gratefully appreciated and apologies for the non technical terms, I'm at a loss as we don't have a local Dodge mechanic any more.

Thanks for your help.
Here in the UK we must have a Fog Light (an ultra bright red light) in addition to our normal lights. This is to help the car be seen on a foggy day, rather than you be able to see where you are going. It's very rare that these are used but they are needed to pass the MOT road worthy test. After spending a small fortune on my car (it recently needed a new Turbo) I did hope everything was working, only for it to fail on the fog light that gets used once in a blue moon.
The fog lights are in the rear bumper rather than in the light cluster.
After some investigation I have found that only 4v are getting through to the bulb sockets/connectors, so I'm guessing it's not the fuse and possibly the earth connection? This is only me diagnosing from Google searches rather than any expertise.
I have no idea where the rear fog lights would be earthed so I think it will be a trip to the mechanics.
