A gentle suggestion: make your posts with a more specific Subject. "Fog Lights Out" is more meaningful than "Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!"

The fogs depend on power through two fuses:
- #53, 15 amps
- #63, 15 amps

If both fuses are good you could check
- fog lamp relay
- fog light switch
- fog light bulb sockets
- ground connection
- fog light bulbs

Fuse numbers 53 and 63 are both located in the long narrow fuse- and link-box adjacent to the battery.

Thank you for that, ill check when i get home
hopefully that fixes it, do you think i should add a higher rated fuse if it is blown

Replacing a blown fuse with a higher rating fuse is the fast, easy, and wrong thing to do. The fuse is a protective device and when it blows it is giving you a warning. Changing to a higher rating fuse simply disables the protection. This may lead to a "toasted" wiring harness and a big repair bill.

If a fuse blows you should fix whatever defect caused it to blow.
