Stevo, ok so what is the deal then??? The light switch does NOT pull out like the manual says "if equipped with fog lamps". They are the factory lamps inside the front fender. I know they only come on with LOW beams. sunday night I was driving and had the lights on and when I flicked the hi/low switch on the turn signal the fog lamps would flash on for 15 seconds then go off, then on for second, then off...etc. I don't get it at all. Is the BCM screwed up ?? What to do? I have no idea what to do. thanks.

The Fog Lamp switch is a direct input to the BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the Front Control Module (FCM) informing it to turn on the fog lamp relay. The fog lamp relay is then powered through low side control of the FCM. This circuit is electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Fog lamp functionality is not equipped on all vehicles. The FCM "learns" that the vehicle is equipped with fog lamps by reading the BCM BUS message.
Headlamp Switch
HEADLAMP SWITCH
The Headlamp Switch uses a multiplexed (MUX) circuit to the Body Control Module (BCM) . The Headlamp Switch controls the Fog lamp relay, Park lamps and the Low and High headlamps. The BCM then sends a signal through the PCI Bus line to the FCM as to what state the switch has selected. The FCM energizes the high side output drivers to turn ON the desired lamps.
