I don't believe that vehicle came with factory installed fog lights, so are they an add on feature and do you know who installed them?

Check in your owner's manual , in the fuse section, and it should tell you what circuits are protected by that fuse. There is a short in one of those circuits and now you will have an idea of what to start checking.
