    Hello all,
    I am new to this Tacoma forum, however, I have used this forum as guidance. I’ve had my truck for almost 4 years and have never done anything besides add a wiring harness for my camper and have never had issues until recently my fog lights don’t want to turn on, everything else works fine. I checked all my fog FR fuses and relays and they’re good. I’m wondering if I’m missing a relay or fuse or maybe it’s something bigger. Any feed back is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, all other lights work. I replaced the actual fog light bulbs with known goods and still nothing.

    I can't remember... On a 3rd Gen is the fog light indicator in the dash cluster or is it in the button? Is that lighting up? Wherever it is!

    Fog switch is on the light stalk. There is an indicator lamp on gauge cluster iirc.

    I truly apologize for asking this but are your headlights on low beam? I’m sure you already know they don’t come on with high beams.
    Again I’m not saying this with malice at all but we forget things at times.

    Agreed.

    It’s in the dash cluster next to the headlight indicator and lights up when “auto” turn switch is selected or when turned on constantly.

    And as has been advised, check to make sure your high beams aren’t on as fog lights shut off when high beams are in-use.

    All,
    It was simply user error, in the 4 years of owning the truck I never knew about the “auto switch” for the fogs. Guess we really do learn something new everyday, Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks !
