Default Fog Light Problem

My fog lights are on all the time. The only time they go off is when the high beams are on.
The **** is pushed in and it does not matter if I push it in or pull the **** out.

HELP!! I am hoping this is a fuse of some sort....

Default has this been the issue since purchase? did you buy it new? I wonder

if it's wired that way so they are on all the time with the headlights and it's not a fuse.

I had the same problem, it was the switch. the dealer changed the switch and it was OK.

Default Funny thing is some of us jump through hoops to make them this way!

My guess is the problem is in the dash switch. If you want to try to fix it yourself, see if the "musicbox" switches act like the "before" pictures in the Fotki link below (pictures 10-16)...

If you know a fellow TTer, you can just try swapping out the whole headlight/dimmer assembly, and see if the problem goes with the assembly. If that works (it works right with someone elses switch assembly), and you don't want to dig into the switch itself, just buy a new headlight switch. Someone here can likely get you the part number, and a link to somewhere to buy it...<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/lighting_systems/foglight_switch_mod/">http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/lighting_systems/foglight_switch_mod/</a</li></ul>

Default The good news is that it shouldn't cause any harm.

I know this is silly, but are you pulling the **** out when you turn the lights on? I am not experienced with this condition, but my guess would be that the tumbler behind the **** has malfunctioned.

If Jeff sees this post, I suspect that he could add valuable insight.

Default ONLY on when low beams though

See the problem is that it is ONLY on with the low beam headlights are on. not with the turn signals.
