Mike,

This is A common issue. Pop the bonnet and disconnect both front fog light connectors. They are located right behind the headlights. Then replace the fuse and turn fogs on. If fuse does not blow, connect one fog,then the other. This will tell you which fog lamp is shorted. Remove the suspect fog lamp assembly from the vehicle and disassemble to find the cause.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.
