Fog light/High beam issue

Recently I noticed that when I have my headlights on, if I turn the fog lights on, the high beams come on as well. Now I know the relay would kill the fogs when the high beams come on, but would a bad one cause the high beams to come on when the fogs are turned on? Also, the high beam indicator does not come on.

TIA

I would check that relay and also the ground wires for it.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Hopefully the inspection station will be quick tomorrow so I can do it while I still have daylight.

Thanks. Finally got around to it, it was a problem with the relay. Cahnged the bulb on the indicator but it still doesn't work so there's another issue there. Thats not too big of a deal because I can tell visually when the highs are on.

Thanks for your help.
