Fog light not working

I have 2006 Cooper with factory front fog light.
About 6 month ago both of light is not turning on.
I checked the bulbs which are ok, I'm trying to check the fuse but I can't seem to locate it. all the fuse I can see are ok.

Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks

Note: OEM lower bumper mounted fogs only work when parking lights or low beam HD lights are on.

If the fuses are ok, maybe the toggle switch is bad. Does the little green light come on next to the switch ?

no, the little green light does not come on either,.
But when parking light is on and toggle the front fog light switch then I can turn on the rear fog light which either head light or f.fog light has to be on to operate.

Sounds like the switch is working then.

Your positive the fog light fuse is not blown ? If that is the case, could be the fogs need re-programming by the dealer. Never actually ever heard of that ever needing to be done, but a possibility absent other stuff checked.

If it were me..........( depends on your finances and expertise )

1) check fuse.
2) check the power going to the fog lights with a tester - see if pwr is being routed to the lights at all.
3) find a used toggle bank, can be had pretty cheap usually - May be one in NAM Marketplace or at Wayland's at Waymotorworks has one in his used parts section, should be plug and play as long as it has all the same toggles you currently have. Just check with him. There are some DIY instructions for removing the toggle bank in MC2 website I think.

good luck

The fuse is F10 (15 A) in the engine compartment fusebox next to the drivers side strut tower.
