It is common for the foglight switches to basically melt since someone at Ford had decided running all the fog light current through the switch would probably save them a few pennies over putting relay in. Before throwing away the switch, you can rebuild them and replace the 12V bulb with an LED/resistor. A relay can easily be spliced in and added under the console where Ford had intended one to be anyways.

Guts of a switch
If anyone is interested in rebuilding their switch, let me know. Outside of cleaning and some soldering for LED bulb replacement, the toggle has to be fabbed. I built mine from Teflon rod. If you are planning on throwing yours away, throw it my way. I can rebuild for someone else.
