Leaving Skid Marks
Hi Guys
A while ago the bulb in my foglight switch went so it was not lighting up at night when the park lights/headlights were on. Being the way I am this annoyed me to the point where I decided to replace it.
I took the vent assembly out that it is attached to, disconnected the plugs for the foglight switch and the mirror controls, unscrewed the two screws holding in the switch and then took the switch apart. I then took the old bulb off and carefully soldered an LED along with a resistor on the positive connection onto the contacts of the switch and then put it back together and then reversed the removal process to reinstall it. I then tested it and the foglights were working like normal.
The other night I was playing around and noticed the foglights weren't working, or so it seemed. What is actually happening is that the foglight switch turns on the park lights now... If no other lights are on and you activate the switch the park lights come on, if the park lights are already on it does nothing but either way it also still lights up all of the dash switches.
WTF has happened?
