Default Fog Lights Kinda Work

Ive got 2001 Dakota R/T with factory fog lights... when you turn on the parking lights and pull out the **** the fig lights come on... turn the **** to the headlights the fog lights turn off... ive replaced the switch and get the same results... does anyone have any suggestions of what could be wrong?

Yep low beams and parking lights are the only time the fogs are on. You know they are working when the parking lights are on so your switch is fine

The headlights are on low beams... When you turn the switch to the headlight position from parking lights you can hear the relay clicking off... Reading one of the other posts I was wondering if the timer module had gone bad... Sometimes the air conditioner vent selector gets a mind of it's own... I can hear the fan blowing, but don't feel the air coming out of any perticular set of vents...

Did you try a different relay? What switch did you replace was it the headlight **** or the high and low beam switch?

I replaced the headlight ****... I have not replaced the fog light relay... I didn't thick that the relay was an issue because the lights came on with the parking lights...

Its prob not the relay but you never know just switch it with one in your fuse box to see if it will work
