Default Fog Light Problems

I noticed an unusual number of people flashing their lights at me the other evening when I just had my DRL's and fog lights on--or so I thought...

Checked this morning and the fog lights won't come on when activated by the headlight switch. However, fuse 6 is fine and they still come on if I set them to flash when I unlock/lock the car with the key fob.

I saw one other post about this a few months ago but never saw a resolution. I have no other electrical problems at all, no codes, etc. Thoughts? Thanks!

I don't understand. On my '00, you cannot run the DRL's and the fog lights. The parking lights or the headlights must be on to run the fog lights. When the parking or headlights are on, the DRL's are off.

Same here on my 98, except not when the high beams are on.

You're right, just mixed up the names. I meant to say that I thought I had my parking lights and fog lights on.

Anyway, simple description: my fog lights will not come on under any circumstances except a quick flash when unlocking/locking.

As I remember it when they used to work...

1 click on the headlight switch: parking lights and fog lights
2 clicks: parking lights, fog lights, and headlights

Right now only the parking lights come on on the first click... headlights plus parking lights on the second. No fogs.

Default Fogs...

Dumb question, but do you have the foglight switch on? The switch is on the dash by the trunk release button. Chuck.
