If the fuses are fine I would pull the bulbs out of the fog lights and check them to see if they are burnt out you could also use a test light on the bulb holder turn the fog lights on in the vehicle take test light and test both tabs in the connector one should have power and other side will not if bulbs look good and there’s no power coming to the bulb connector the switch might be bad or could have a break in the wires coming from the switch. Hopefully this will help
System Description EKS0058X Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The central processing unit of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When activated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps. OUTLINE Power is supplied at all times ? through 15A fuse [No. 43, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 15A fuse [No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to CPU (central processing unit) in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Power is also supplied at all times ? through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box) ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 55 ? through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 42. When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied ? to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 10A fuse [No. 1 located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 38. When the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, power is supplied
Ryan, Does the fog light indicator on dash light up when you pull out the fog lamp switch? Also, Are you aware the fog lights won't work when high beam is on?
sounds like a fuse... trace the wires and check for a inline fuse link or check where it is getting the power from... it may of been tapped into from something else. check all fuses. good luck
It's an electrical problem(you knew that)STEP1:check for voltage with a DVOM(voltage tester) at the fog light fuse,if current here switch is good,then problem is after fuse(make sure fuse is good). STEP2:check for power at the fog light ground (the fog light ground is bolt and nut that holds the unit up)if you get power at this end,make sure both light bulbs are good they might be a"series system"like x-mas lights if one burns out the other doesn"t work.
OK, you need to connect a relay to one of the 'power' wires under the hood that leads to the bulb of the low beams. Then, the fog lights will go on only when they are turned on or off.
Otherwise, you could have a relay that is controlled by a switch that independently operates the relay and thus the fog lights.
Both methods are legal in, Pennsylvania, anyway.
Sometimes hooking up the relay to the fuse box will only turn the fog lights on if the ignition switch is turned on for switched fuse box contacts. And, sometimes, hooking the relay to the fuse box will keep the fog lights on all of the time, as the fuse box may be energized at all times at certain contacts.
Good luck on installing your fog lights, correctly.
I would check the fuse first, odds are that this would be it. If the fuse is good check with a vmeter to see if you are getting power to the lights, it could be that you have two blown bulbs, it is not uncommon to have both blow within a short time of one another. if the fuse is good and you are not getting power to the lights chaeck to see if you are getting power to the switch. Try the easy stuff first.
