Put the *** on 'those yellow thingies' (parking lamps) or your headlights and PULL the switch out gently. Viola.

I had the same problem when I first bought my Intrepid, and I thought "Damn, the fog lights don't work." So I started checking in the fusebox, and found that one of the fog lamp relays was missing. So I pull into the parking lot of the store, ready to buy a new relay, and figure I'd peek at my owner's manual and see if the relay was listed. I found the instructions saying you had to pull on that ****, and boy did I feel dumb. I'm not sure what that relay was supposed to have been for, but the fog lights work fine without it.

It pays to read your manual

Don't feel too bad, one of the guys I work with finished cleaning the interior of his truck. The next morning he jumps in to head to work, and no dash lights. Drives to work with a small flashlight stuck in his mouth. Gets home, starts looking at the fuses, everything is good. Starts opening up the dash, no apparent problems. He starts asking me what I thought it could be--he's already invested a couple of hours into it, I asked him if he tried turning the dimmer **** up----brain fart royale!!!!! problem solved, and we all had a good laugh.

I don't know about ya'lls truck, but on the lamb switch in my truck it has a picture of the fog lamp symbol and says "pull" under it. But hey, we've all done stupid stuff, for example: I just found out that it's fringe benefits and not french benefits. Yeah, I'm a dumb redneck from Texas that can't speak english, but aren't we all idiots every once in a while.

P.S. The owners manual is actually a pretty good read. You find out alot of stuff about your truck that you didn't know: like what that "PTY" button on the radio is.
