    2013 Tacoma Sport. I have KC G4 fog lights. Installed the fog light anytime mod years ago. A couple months ago I thought I noticed driving at dusk that my fog lights came on as I was turning through the neighborhood. Now typically I keep them on at all ties and don’t even mess with the button.

    Now a few weeks later I noticed the lights are no longer on. I replaced the fog light fuse under the hood with no luck. Thinking it might be the switch or possibly something else.

    Hoping someone has dealt with something similar to lead me in the correct direction.

    Do you have a multimeter, and can you pull the fog light relay and check to see if you are getting voltage?

    So I finally got a meter and some free time today. It’s getting power in all the right places. I’m wondering if it’s the switch or maybe a ground to the fog light harness (if that’s even a thing)

    Sound like a ground to me. I’ve got the same setup with the factory switch. :notsure:

    Google isn’t helping, is there a specific ground for the fog lights?

    What did your meter say when you went from both terminals of the fog light connecter?
    You did have the low beams on, and not the high beams, Correct?
    The fogs only come on with the Low beams, the power is cut when switch to High beams.

    A test light would be so much more helpful here.
