Hey, a while back, my fogs stopped working. I would have simply replaced the bulbs, but I could tell it wasn't the bulbs. A bit before it went out, the switch went all moody on me and would sometimes switch them on, and sometimes not, I had to play with the switch a bit to get it to come on, eventually, they just stopped working completely. Recently I took apart the console to get to my tach, which is not working, and I noticed the harness for the fog switch was melted. What could have caused this?

Also, my tach has a burnt resistor and two diodes also burnt. Around that time a mechanic had to replace the power coil in the steering column after he screwed it up installing a new steering rack. Could he have caused a short circuit somewhere I should look for?

If I need to drop the steering column, any guides for such a procedure?

Thanks for any input guys.

your fog light switch is a comom problem. they tend to burnout alot. youll have to run a seperate relay from the switch to take the amp draw of the fog lights. there was an ariticle a few years back in MMFF

What do you mean run a separate relay? Is it something I could just buy? If so, from where?

Ok, my foglamps are not THAT important, plus, this kit is to fix the headlamps, not the foglamps, but seriously, thanks anyway for the help, I appreciate it, but I think I'll just leave it alone for now.
