Troubles with 07 fog lights

Fog lights don't work. When I turn on the truck the instrument clusted lights comes on, after truck is started and I turn lights on the clusted light for fogs don't come on neither does the fog lights. I've checked the fuse and replaced with other fuse, checked the relay and swapped them around with the washer fluid one and still nothing... Any inline fuse? I don't know where else to turn any help would be greatly appretiated. Only other thing is to rewire them to a toggle switch but that sounds like a headache.

if your truck has under 35,000 miles take it to ford. the warranty will fix the problem.

Are your high beams on?

Does the foglight switch light up when your dash lights are on?

Do you have foglight bulbs in the foglight housings?

you have just over 35K miles then? Have you had your maintenance performed at the dealer? If so, i bet they will honor the repair under good faith even though you are out of warranty. My mom had a 96 Mustang that was out of warranty, that the dealer still replaced the entire engine wiring harness at no cost to her out of good faith because she had a good relationship with them.

Its worth a shot. Thats why i still take my truck there every so often and try to develop a service history with them. It builds leverage with them and youd be suprised at what they can pull off.

I wish it was something as simple as having high beams on!!! Only time the dashboard light comes on is when truck starts up. When I turn the lights on and goto turn the fogs on nothing happens, no dash light indictator and even worse no fog lights. I will on Monday head out to the ford dealer and see what they say. Thanks for your help folks.
