2006 stock fog lamps

i have a 2006 lariat screw. My sticker said I had fog lamps and they are there, yet I can not get them to turn on. There are bulbs in there. Am I slightly retarded or do i need to go to the dealer. I've read the manual and tried it every way.

If your fog lights are like mine, turn on the headlight switch and pull on the ****. The fog lights should come on.

Start with a few base items :

Q1. You do have the headlamps in the low position..correct ?
1.1. The fog lamps do not illuminate with the headlamps in the high beam postion.

Q2. Do either of your high beams work ?
2.1. The fog lamp relay coil gets ground via the high beam element(s), and if both are burnt out, the fog lamps will not work.

Q3. When you turn the main headlamp switch to either the : Auto / Park or headlamp postion, and you pull the **** out, does the fog lamp icon on the switch illuminate ?

Those are the base things to look at, prior to tearing into the fuse panel and checking both fuses and the relay for the heck of it.
