Frt Fog Fuse?

Frt Fog Fuse?
OK, what is the frt fog fuse under the dash for? Without fogs on the TCH, I was under the impression from others here on the forum that there was no wiring for the fogs. Confused why there is a 15A fuse in the fuse box. Can anyone help?

It's not shown in the 2007 TCH Electrical Wiring Diagram. I don't have a wiring diagram for the later TCH models, but it sounds as if they might be pre-wired for fog lamps, at least as far as the fuse-box.

Is this a US built or Japan built TCH?

It would not surprise me if they put all of the wiring in place but just didn't install the lights. A lot of manufacturers do this kind of thing because it is just cheaper to have one set up than a bunch of set ups. I know Toyota has done this in the past.
Update:
Yup, the 2007 has the fuse too. Mine is US built.

It's a 2008 built in KY. I will look at it more this weekend and see what I can figure out. Got some great info from Randyman about running the wiring and verifying where I was thinking about mounting my switch.
I need a service manual or wiring diagrams, can anyone help with something online? Might consider buying a manual. Anyone know where I can order it and the cost?
Thanks everyone!

Re: Frt Fog Fuse?
About a year ago I asked a similar question in this forum about the harness and the fuse. A member who said he was also an aircraft mechanic told me he had a Japanese built Camry. He said his car was pre-wired for fog lights, and the harness was already there. He went on to tell me that the Japanese versions were better...yada, yada, yada.
I was just happy to get mine, I waited 3 months on a list. Meanwhile my dependable Honda was going through it's death dance and I had to have $2000 worth of repairs just before I traded it in!! Anyway, I was happy to get my US Built Hybrid - not like I had a choice.
When I was installing my fog lights, I removed all of the under carriage covers and the rubber socket cover, I did not see anything that looked like a fog light harness. I too have the fuse but I don't know where it goes.

Re: Frt Fog Fuse?
I am going to check to see if it is hot, and try to identify what color the wires are going to the fuse. Unfortunately, getting old does not lend itself to crawling under the dash! LOL! it's very tight. I will advise what I can figure out.
