I Changed the fog light switch, I checked the fuse and relay under the hood, and check voltage in the wiring. All checked fine. Is there another fuse or relay that relates to the fog light to be checked? Thank you.

Check the DRL relay then have it scanned for codes may be a body module problem

Scanned for codes and checked relays. No codes, DRL relay works after swapping with go relay. How do I go about to check body control module for fault? Thanks.

Before I go to get it scanned. Would I also have something else that was acting up since this function may be related to other functions?

If the relay works and fog lights don't I assume they aren't getting power which comes from truck control module. It's either that or a fuse box problem like losing contact at relay or something broken in fuse box. You can try tweeking prongs on relay and using dielectric compound on them see if that works.

It's been a while. Found that 10A "Park LP" fuse on/inside fuse box was blown. Fog light work.
