Hey my expy dont got fog lights but the switch pulls out like it should. Its also in the fuse panel so im wondering if anyone has a diagram so i can try to figure out if there is any wiring for them in my truck. I got fog lights onto my push bar and dont want to put any switches into my dash.

I figured it out. But got to tear it apart again. I must have wires backwards.

From my research i need a diff switch mine does not have "pull for fog lights". Even though mine pulls out. Brand new fog lights. No extra lights come on when i pull switch.

Ok. So considering fuse is part of D.R.L. in truck. Under hood is relay 206 and fuse 9. Indicator light is located in the switch itself? Theres no bulb for it. It looks like its painted to me. Any idea wat wire at the switch is for fog lights? So i have multiple spots to check for power?

Indicator LED is in the main light switch.

Fuse 9 should be hot at all times. Check for power on both sides of the fuse with the fuse in place.

At the fog lamp relay, good fuse in #9, check for power at pin #3 on the relay - (may also be #30).

Are you familiar with a relay pin out? For example what #85, #86 is?

On my 99 f150 mine did the exact thing as yours and after researching and coming up with dead ends, I looked very close and found the wires from the switch to the power distribution box where the relay is were not there. Pull the relay out and look in the power distribution box. Where the terminals go into the box, they are missing the wires and terminals. ARGH!!!!!!

I wired the fogs with a relay and tapped into the park light circuit for a trigger for the relay. This way there was no extra amperage on the park light circuit.
