I do not have a 2012 wiring diagram but suggest you try the right fuse box in your owner's manual and look around fuse 5 or do for a 25 amp fuse that may have blown. On the '14 RTs fuse 5 is for the fog lights and a number of other accessories.

I'm pretty sure the fog lights, heated grips, horn and compressor for the rear shock are all on the same circuit.

If it's like the 2013 the fog lights and heated grips are fed through the load shedding relay, R3 in the RH fuse box. That relay, plus the horn are fed by fuse F5, a 20 amp. Does the horn work? If so the fuse is OK. Do the grips heat up? If not, then the load shedding relay is the likely culprit. If the grips heat and fog lights don't come on then it's the bulbs or wiring.

If a whole bunch of things don't work, like radio, trailer, accessory lights, and hazard lights, then it's probably J2, a 40 amp circuit breaker.

the load shedding relay, .

WW is that the right word for the relay?

The horn, signals, heat grips all seem to be working fine. Im still not able to locate a fuse or relay for the 2012 RTS

Fuse #8, 20 amp, in the front fuse box. As shown on page 147 of your owner's manual.

I take it then the 2012 fuse box and wiring configuration is different from the 2013?

The load shedding relay cuts out the noted loads unless the engine is running. Same sort of thing as the headlights not coming on until the engine is running. Prevents unnecessary excess load on the battery while starting since the starter wants all the juice it can get!

Looks like it. For 2013 the battery and fuse boxes moved. The fuse and relay positions got shuffled. A lot of the circuits that they control stayed very much the same.
