Do some trouble shooting. Sounds like a wiring problem or bad ground.

check the wiring that goes from the switch into the fuse box...there was a common problem with the wiring not being able to handle the amperage load of the fog lights and lights at once cause the fog lights tap a circuit off the headlights.. to look for any charred connections or starting to melt ones
