Are your headlights on? I don't think the fogs turn on without headlights. I could be wrong since I'm going off memory and I don't use fogs often.

No, I just cut the tabs off the button and replaced everything. Did I miss a step?

Yeah seems like it lol. Usually this mod is done by cutting the tabs to get the button to move in and out, but there's nothing inside the button to touch the board pad...you need to put a piece like stacked lego 1x1 bricks to make it touch the board pad lol.

So right now it seems like you have the button moving, but its not touching anything inside. But you say you had it working at first so I'm not sure.
