You haven't tried everything! For a start, you haven't used the search function, and found the thread I contributed to in the last month, that led someone else through the full procedure.
Fog lights have a seperate relay, but it won't be the problem.

Sanding electrical contacts is a good way of arranging future faults for yourself! Not only does it remove whatever plating is on the underlying metal, but it embeds particles of grit into the metal surface.
Use a fibreglass pencil, a scraper, or a file.
