Help with A/C and fog lights.

Hey guys, I am traveling so if there are any typos blame it on fat fingers and tiny keys.

I am in Missouri right now about an hour outside St. Louis on my way from Texas to Illinois. A few hours ago I stopped for fuel. When I started the truck back up not the fog lights and A/C were not working. Could be they are unrelated but the were both on and working before shutting the truck off. Drove it for about a half hour thinking it would reset. Of course it didn't. Too darn hot to go without A/C so pulled over to see if it was a fuse. LED on dash for a/c and indicator on instrument panel for fog lights both indicate that each is working. Didn't see any fuses indicated for wither fog lights or a/c, so pulled each one and visually inspectes before reinstalling. Now the check engine light is on with codes 0243 and 0480 for the wastegate and cooling fan respectively. Rechecked fuses to make sure none were loose.

Any ideas? If not any thoughts where I can take it between St.Louis and Chicago? I am always afraid of being ripped off on repairs while traveling.

3 hours and no ideas? Not even a "Did you check the foglight fluid level?" (Which is full btw) LOL

check 2 things... when you turn on ac does the fan turn on? when you turn on ac does the ac compressor turn on in engine bay? that should narrow this down...

The vent fan/blower motor Welsh if that was the question. If you meant a different fan let me know. I would need to pull o er to check anything underhood. Idont hear compressor kicking on or off for a/c or defrost.
