Default Help With Fog Lights

my 02 sierra did not come with fog lights.....i installed some but they don't seem to work?.......i bought the switch from the dealership that is the cargo and fog switch...... also a whole wiring harness that ended in a green box that is under the fuses.....and the fog lights are denali oem fogs......all seemed straight forward.....but no love......so i thought maybe allen has to do something to my pcm to make them work........ but no......is it the bcm?......or what?.......can somebody give me some advice please?

Yeah, you're on track with the pcm. I believe you need to have your dealer program the pcm for the factory fogs.

It's actually the BCM that needs programming.

I'm having problems with my foglights, my truck came stock with them and they dont work, i took it to the dealer and they hooked it up and said it was programmed in the BCM, and then he used his Tech II to turn them on and it worked, but the switch will not turn it on. I've replaced the Relay,Switch, and had it reprogrammed with no luck, any suggestions?

bcm and pcm are different all gms are set up like this...same **** has to be done to a malibu.....you could switch for a wrecked bcm with fog lights but your odomoter may be off. its like 40 bucks to get it done at a dealer

check your harness for shorts or anything unplugged fuses bulbs etc if thats all good go to another dealer have them check the bcm......if the bcm is screwed up may need to replace it or reprogram it
