Foglight problem...
I usually have my foglights on whenever I am using my headlights. However recently,
when I turn on the high beams the fogs go off (the green light on the fog button goes out) and they don't come back on when I turn off the high beams. This will sometimes happen if I even lightly tap the turn signal stalk on the steering column (the foglights will go out sometimes when the stalk springs back after I complete a turn). You can actually hear the switch go off behind the glove box (where the switch module is located on MY99.5s).
Does anyone else have this problem?
I had my Ignition Switch replaced last week (the problem started after that) did they F-up the wiring?
If it's the foglight module, can I fix it myself? the part cost $120 from the stealership.
Any help is appreciated

Your Greddy is a little tilted, some electrical tape at the top should fix that....anyway, (more)
I think it has to do with a connection at the base of the turn signal stalk, since I know they were working in that area when they replaced the ignition switch, and I didn't have the problem until I got it back from them. I will call them tomorrow.
But I also plan on doing the foglight mod this weekend so maybe that will help too.
