Remove switch from dash, remove plug from switch, turn on ignition, turn on main light switch, and link together grey/purple and yellow/blue wires of the switch plug with a short piece of wire. Do the rear fogs light?

More patience required! After confirming the switch was at fault, my next post would have been to tell you how to open it without losing half the parts. (Open with the buttons facing upwards.)

You my friend are a absolute legend :wink:

Managed to clean it and put it back together not tested yet as I'm super excited to leave the car and take the Mrs to Asda :cry:
