Fog Lights do not turn off when driving lights are on. How to access switch?

My Fogs will remain on regardless if the switch is fully extended or pushed in. I did notice that with the switch pushed all the way in, if I tried to push it even further, the fog lights would go off but as soon as I take my hand of the ***, the fogs come back on. Not sure if the fog contacts in the *** are misplaced, but this started right after I got my car back from a warranty repair (Dealer claims no responsibility when they were checking he instrument cluster for problems).

This problem only happens when the driving lights are turned on.

How do I remove the lights switch to see if the contacts for the fog are out of place, if that is the problem?

Do a search for "fog light mod"... should turn up some well documented stuff with links, etc.

So you're trying to do the opposite of what so many people spend laborious time doing?

I'd just leave 'em!

That's the way they work, unless you did the foglight mod. Did you?

Yup, that's how they are designed...

They only come on with the headlights (pulling out when the headlights are "on"... they go off when you switch on the high-beams). Unless you modify the switch, they aren't designed to come on with the parking lights.

But you're saying they don't turn off at all?

(sorry to be so dense)
