My fog light switch acts like it is now a momentary switch, meaning the fog lights work but I have to hold the button in. As soon as I let go of the button the fog lights go out. Is this a bad switch?

This is for the 97 Dodge Ram, with the button switch on the dash.

 

Looking at it, yep, that's a bad switch.

 

Thanks for the reply. I've looked at the LMC catalog and all through eBay, but I can't seem to find one. I would prefer a new switch over a used one. Anybody have any idea where I can get one?

 

Dorman products

 

Dorman doesn't have them, This subject was brought up on another forum and if i recall it's oem only. Mine has been stuck on since the day i got it but it's no big deal if the fogs come on with the running lights. Not staying on is a different story.

 

Wonder if you could take the switch apart, and fix it.......

 

Well I did manage to find one, but sweet Mary!!

Does any forum members have one you would like to sell?

 

Let me check schematic, maybe a bypass.

 

Can anyone confirm if the 97 switch is the same as the 98? I think there is one from a 98 in the local pick and pull. If it will work, I can get it for you and send it to you for the cost of shipping.

 

As far as fixing it, I will pull it this weekend and see. I'm betting that some sort of plastic mechanism has broken inside though. I just finished replacing my dash two weeks ago, and by the time I was done I was just furious by the low quality of plastic they used in these pickups.
