Default Front fog lights stay on

Well if it isn't one thing, it's another. Got in the heep the other day while it was dark, so I switched on the headlights. Dash looked odd because both my blinker lights and high-beem light went on. I turned off the lights and nothing changed, those interior lights stayed on. Now, my headlights dont turn on, and fog lights dont turn off, no matter what I do. Wether the light switch is in the on or off position, the fog lights are on, the headights are off, and the blinger and high beep lights on the dash are on. And it's only the front running lights. Break lights work as do the rear running lights. Hazard lights work too...but dont totaly flash the front lights.

Any ideas?

Hmm, possible loose ground somewhere? Check the negative battery cable and trace to frame and make sure that's secure. Are your fogs factory? If not then check the grounds on the those. Have you done any other electrical type mods lately?

Other than a ground issue I have no clue. Good luck!

Battery cable is secure. I disconnected it so my battery wouldn't go dead. It's bone stock except for the 3" lift that was installed before I bought it.

What about the connection at the frame/body? From there I would check your fogs and look for any frayed wires or where something could be possibly grounded out. I'm afraid I can't be much more help than that. Hopefully someone else will come along with some new ideas.
