Default Foglamp switch problem

I just bought an 04 GT and there are 3 switches right above the shifter, a rear-defroster, a traction control, and the foglamp switch. The only one that works is the rear-defroster. The traction control switch is always lit up, and the foglamps don't work. Yes, the bulbs are good, they came on once! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kim

might have better luck in the electronics threads, but if your trac.contr. switch is always lit up, it means its disabled. Mine is like that since i shut it off with a tuner. Might want to check that out. Another possibility since your fogs dont work is that they share a common wire(the two switches that is) which is either not supplying voltage(blown fuse) or not grounded properly(loose ground wire) just my 2cents. good luck!

If the t/c LED is on regardless of haw many times you press the switch then it is quite likely t/c was turned off in a custom tune. Can you contact the PO and ask?

The fog lights are powered from 20A fuse #27 in thr battery junction box.
