Someone else is gonna have to clarify this, but yes, there is a way to fix it so the fog lites will stay on. There's a relay for that, that has a light green wire on it that has to be grounded in order for that to work. There was a post here recently about this same thing - that's how I found out. I'm going to do it also, but wrote down the info on how to do it, but it's at home...

I just went and did a search for it. The post is titled "anyone know how to do this" by "blade". Last post was on the 4th, so you could go back on this forum to the 4th and read it, or find it under the search option.

Here's the link to that topic....it was MARCH 5th...not April!

Apparently you just take the light green wire on the relay (see Vaders post) and ground it directly! Make sure you tape up the other part of the green wire or you'll trip the circuit all the time!!

If you have a 90 or up model, the relay is located under the dash and not on the firewall!!
