Default Lighting Issues

I'm completely confused. Here is the problem...

When I turn on my headlights with the switch on the turn signal to the first position, my fog lights do not illuminate, dash lights do not turn on, and rear lights do not turn on. When I move to the second position, the headlights popup, but none of the lighting mentioned above works.

To Clarify Further: The problems listed in (above) occur when the twilight setting is turned off.

However, when I use the twilight setting, all of the lights work perfectly fine; fogs, headlights, tail lights, and dash. I've attempted to read the different lighting threads, but haven't found anything that helps. I'll apologize in advance, if I have overlooked something. I thought I'd stop and ask for help before I spent hours searching for nothing.

Let me know your thoughts and any helpful secrets, if any!!!

I believe that is how they are programmed.
You need to turn off your twighlight sentinel to run the foglights in the first setting.

Twilight is off when I have the problems. I edited the post above to reflect that. Thanks for pointing out my oversight.
