Default Fog Lights Inop - Suggestions?

Hoping that someone has some suggestions here. Prior to about a month off of the road my fog lights worked correctly, no issues. Now they are both inop. During my downtime I did a factory reset and corrected an immobilizer issue via IDS, and rebuilt the suspension and a bunch of little stuff. All fuses are good, including #15. Relay clicks and I tried switching with a known good one. Rear fogs work fine. Tried multiple bulbs, as I have my original halogen and some LEDs that I would like to install. Ground at the socket checks for continuity to chassis but I’m not getting +12V. Fog light switch light illuminates as it should. All other lights and electrical stuff works correctly. What am I missing here?

Are you checking the right fuse? It's not number 15 on my diagram.

Have you tested with a multimeter for power at the relay contacts?

It’s fuse 15 in my owner’s manual, 10A. I checked them all just to be sure. No I didn’t probe the relay sockets, it’s clicking normally but I can.

F15 (10A, trunk fusebox) is for rear fogs.

F17 (15A) in engine compartment fusebox is the one to check:

Well I’m a moron, #17 up front did the trick. When I actually take the time to read the manual, there’s a fuse for “fog lights” and “front fog lights”. Thanks!

I doubt it.

More likely a 'Doh!' moment that we all seem to suffer now and again
