Did you take the bumper off?

My guess is that either the main connector (located on the drivers side of the bumper in the foglight area or one of the sensors got unplugged or is partially unplugged. If this is the case and you restore the connection, it will work fine and clear the fault indicator (red dots).

Agree 100%

If they are plugged in correctly, then you may have to move your ballasts,
they emit some RF and can interfere with electronics that are in close proximity. Did you try it with the fogs off?

I see there is ice and snow where you are. Mine would act up occaisionally when I lived in Michigan and it would get wet and freeze.

Just my .02.
