the vfaq fix works

but the problem with it is it turns it to a push in(on)/ pull out(off)
and its kinda a pain to pull it out
Had a DSM...........sold it............ never been happier

I had this problem and I just did the jumper under the hood to make my Fog Lights stay on all the time.

A lot easier than trying to fix the button.  And cheaper....

where's the jumper mod? I don't see it on vfaq.. that sounds like the best way to go, they just turn on off with headlights would be perfect..

-edit.. found it, a modding option inside another mod

http://vfaq.com/mods/fogs.html

Its on that page.. read down to where it says make a choice, you can hardwire the relays or run a wire to the switch. Ive had them jumpered for over a year without problems.
