That's what mine looked like when I first opened it. Thought I was looking in the wrong spot at first.

I bought the fog kit from the dealer that didn't need to be activated. I posted a picture on here once.

Slim picking's there, if you can't identify if there is a fog relay or a open socket for the fog relay from the jibberish. Then you have two choices. 1. Pay the dealer to fix it. 2. Do as I did and hot wire it to a toggle using a relay mounted outside the PDM.

Good luck...

hahaha not even charge you for it, that's a good one.

I have a 2008 and just bought a fog light kit with the factory switch and everything. Going to put it in today but the instructions say you have to have the truck programmed for them to work. Guess I will find out or just rewire around them.

Never should have traded in my 2004. After everything I have seen changed on my 2008, I think the next big Dodge innovation will be putting a blue oval on them. Let's hope not!

I bought an factory kit off ebay, installed in 15 mins then HAD to pay 40 bucks (CDN) for a dealer to do 30 seconds of computer crap. I felt jipped, but its better than running a relay or spilcing into a wire, like my buddy did. Plus, and i know this is hokey, but when you get it done the way I did, then when you do turn them on, it activates a little "fog light" on/off display next to your Odomemter.

Just got my mopar fog light kit installed in no time. I have been doing a little research. By my install instructions, all you have to do is go through a couple menus on a starscan to activate the lights. There has to be a way to hook my laptop up to it and do it myself. Anyone know about software that can do this? I see those little fast and furious rice rocket guys hook laptops up all the time and change tuning so there has to be a way I can do the same on my Dodge.

My buddy knows a guy who hacked the ford OS, but sadly there is no Starscan software or emulator, anywhere, period. Just pay the 40 bucks, it will only take them 5 minutes, plus if you can sweet talk with the service manager, then you might be able to negotiate it down to the .1 of labour by the hour.
