Default TIPM issue???

i had it reflashed awhile back due to a TSB. Well i had my foglights quit working on me. and i think i narrowed it down to...not using a relay kit for my H.I.D kit...i think the ballast got wet and shorted the H.I.D out and sent a surge to my TIPM which controls ur fuses/relays....and possibly shorted it out for the fog lights....so i said screw it...put a halogen in to make sure it wasnt my hid's and it didnt work and the green light was on the dash for the fogs. so i knew it wasnt the h.i.d. that was bad...so insted of going through 350 bucks of buying a new TIPM or getting it reprogrammed I just spliced my power feed for my hids into the headlights.....and grounded it at the battery. yes, now i cant change from fogs on or not....but oh well...they work and i only plan on having this truck for maybe another year...the new 2010 ram 2500's are badass....but back to the story....now when i turn my headlights on my fogs come on too....oh well. MORAL TO THE STORY......USE RELAYS...LOL LESSON TO ALL.... and no...there is no fuse for fog lights...that what the tipm is for....
