Before you start pulling bits apart, and risk introducing faults that you didn't have before, TEST!
Pull out the switch and disconnect the plug. Turn on the ignition and lights, and use a short piece of wire to link together the grey wire on pin 7 and the grey/blue wire on pin 5. This should make the front fogs light up.
Now link together the yellow/black on pin 2 and the grey/purple on pin 4, which should make the rear fogs light.
If both these work, then the switch needs taking apart and cleaning.
