Default Fogs on with High Beam fix for 02-05 guys!!!

I've had a DIY in the FAQ section for some time on how to get the fogs (or low beams for that matter) to stay on with the high beam lights on the '02-'05 Rams. About a 10 cent piece of wire and five minutes:

Well I finally found the solution to this (and a whole lot more) for you guys with '06+ trucks:

I didn't say it was a cheap fix!

However, these are becoming available because of all the dealerships that Obama/Chrysler shut down. They were about a $12,000 item for the dealers to buy as recently as 3 years ago...

Now IMO, we need to get about 100 of us to pony up $80 a piece and send it around, kinda like you guys are doing with the $12 eraser wheels. LMAO!!!

this thread is .... you fill in the blank ....

Hammer you have TONS of time , come up with a reasonable way of doing this mod. Go sucker someone into letting you experiment on their truck. Keep the hi hope BS post to a min.
Nothing more frustrating than reading a title and getting the hopes up .

Actually I have an Air Bag light on in my Jeep, the code reader in my SC won't read it and I wanted to verify it was the spring coil wearing out before I buy one and take my steering wheel apart and air bag out to replace it.

THIS is the ONLY way to read an Air Bag code is with a DB3 reader and was given to me as a SERIOUS link to be able to read the code on a Jeep forum!

Besides, it IS a solution for the high beam/Fog light issue, is it not?

Or you have a cool dealer like mine, that reprogrammed the PCM to see the fogs for FREE and they stay on with the high beams! How about that??
