Has anyone ever had problems with their fog lights i checked the fuse i knew of, but no luck both went out, is there an additional fuse located anywhere on the switch and does anyone have any idea how to get to this switch and im sorry for the triple post before this, my PC is running like a Ford truck 1999 Dodge Ram 4x4 5.9 Sport

you could have a crack in the light itself causing water to get in therefor blowing the lights. Just a thought

If not a fuse then it may be the foglamp switch itself

Yes I found the problem it is the switch---fixxed it but it fell apart again---90.00 for a new one not top of priority list now seeing how i put 50.00 per fill up in it....lol

replace both of them with a set from PIAA or another reputable brand. the stockers suck. i've had problems with mine and replaced them with set from walmart. they actually worked well -much better than stock, but the lense got smashed by a rock. i am now buying some higher quality lights. use the existing wiring and switch and you're all set -provided you dont have another problem with the wiring. when i first bought my truck, it had a broken lense so i checked on factory replacements. they want like a hundred bucks just for one housing. lenses are not sold seperately. just make sure you have a six-pack (or more) handy when you do the install. they make it so only the stock ones will fit right. you will need to play around with the new ones a bit to mount them. better than getting raped by the dealer though! good luck

Oh dear me, I know all about the factory rip off, I want to replace my fog lights on my 98 ram 1500 and the dealer wanted 100. for each and 200. for install, I have not a clue about installing them and neiter does my husband so I'm guessing I will have to play with any new ones I get, and as for getting them at Wal-Mart, I work at a super Center and the guy told me I'd be paying up the butt ( for rewiring) to get any of our stuff so I just walked away from that idea...
Why make our lives so hard when it comes to making our toys look and run better....
