Default Fog Lamp Electrical Problem

My fog lamps burnt out last year well actually one of them actually blew. So i waited till now to replace them and after i did i turned them on and nothing happened. The light didn't come on in the dash or anything so my first thought was check the fuse and relay and i did both and they were fine and even switched them with other ones and they still dont work. I was wondering what my next step should be to fix this problem

Check the relay in the PDC.

Also did you get that lube for the connection too? I didn't the first time and as soon as I turned my fogs on it was moist air out it blew.

My first guess would be to check out the relay since the dash light isn't coming on.

The headlight switches are noted to go bad, as well. When I first got my truck it had a bad switch.

New one from Advance Auto was $30-40 and I haven't had an issue since.

I had this same issue and it was the hot wire going to the fogs (just above the split harness) , it was corroded so check for power from the PDC down to the fog light first.
