Sounds like you've covered some things.

Did you check that the switch itself is working, and that the bulbs are good? You may have already done this, but I like to start with the simplest stuff first.

Are these the stock fog lights you're referring to, or are they aftermarket ones that you installed yourself.

Sounds like you've worked through the simple things just fine. Time to start chasing down the problem more aggressively. Starting with the positive circuit, try to chase down any breaks there might be. Use a multimeter if you have one, and refer to the wiring diagram I've attached.

Pay special attention to the No.9 Fuse leading into the fog switch. You can also use a multimeter to check for voltage on this wire when the switch is off and on.

Electrical gremlins are a pain in the behind, but work through it slowly, and you'll get it.
