If the fog light indicator is the only one not working I'd suspect the 15A fuse or the relay.

I wouldn't even think twice about the fuse unless the one you just put in blows. It happens. A fuse is NOT a very accurate device and some manufacturer's quality control can be poor. Chalk it up to nothing serious for now and don't get yourself all twisted... yet.

Sorry, I call BS.
Fuses dont blow for no reason due to manufacturing tolerances.
The tolerances are not that wide and the application
is not fused for the load but the wire carrying the current.
Fuses just dont blow for no reason in my world.
Maybe NUKEs world has some half life decay problems???
Blown fuses indicate problems not related to the fuses designed
amperage load capabilities....
And then another loss for the NUKE....

I call BS on your BS call!

I've developed test procedures for devices including fuses that have been bought commercially for use in safety related applications in nuclear facilities. We've performed destructive tests on samples from various production lots of many fuses from many manufacturers including witnessing the manufacturers in-house testing. You'd be surprised at how many fuses do NOT meet their published specs.

Although and in all fairness, I would suspect a short or some other brief high current demand as the culprit which is why I stated earlier to see if things are fine with a new fuse. If the new fuse doesn't blow after a week or so of use, then I'd chalk it up to the fuse.

To the OP, you didn't happen to put higher wattage bulbs in at some point, did you?
