Default 2001 Dash Lights

Dash lights go off when head light go on. Fog lights also don't work. I have check the (2) power leads coming to the fuse distribution center. I havee clean the main grounds near the hood hinges on each side. Any thoughts?

Which leads...and which fuse panel? There are two fuses for the fog lights in different locations:

Underhood electrical center - minifuse #6
Instrument panel electrical center - minifuse #32 (If this is bad, the rear hatch should not work either)

Also check minifuse #6 in the IP electrical center, and of course, make sure the dimmer is not turned all the way down.

I'll venture the guess that your headlamp switch is dying or has failed.
