fog light switch- flickering on and off

Smooth23 · Post by **Smooth23** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:55 pm

Okay, I need to know where to start. My fog lights like to flicker on and off randomly when the switch is off. If I just barely nudge the light control bar thingy they flicker. Its not just the display in the dash, they actually come on and off.

i think the switch just gets warn out. My family has two 02 sxts with fogs and they both do the same thing.

Any idea how much a new switch costs? I can't live with it, cause it flickers enough where my ass is going to get pulled over one of these days.

mine switch does the same thing
i also noticed that when i first turn on my fog lights there is a high pitch squeel and i just turn them off and turn them on again and the noise goes away. anyone know what that sound could be?

A new switch costs between 45 and 67 dollars depending on who you get it from the dealerships are the 67 dollars I am replacing mine tomorrow in my 03 sxt

I have been wondering if anyone else is having this same problem. Mine has been doing that for awhile now and is starting to irritate me. I figured it was the switch since thats whats so sensitive to the touch but haven't gotten around to swapping my extra one over to fix see if it's any better.

thats weird cuz mine does it all the time, everytime i hit a bump, or turn my system up. it goes to the bass!!! lol i prolly look soo ghetto driving down the street. i got used to it tho, but if someone found a way to fix it without spending the cash, that would be sweet

i've never had that problem with my car... and my switch isn't that sensitive at all either. *shrugs*

maybe you all have a loose wire, or something?

Wow, much more common issue than I thought.

wo0ot! Have fun!

Just did mine a few weeks ago. At least you shouldn't have to replace the wiring harness connector, too.

I also have the same problem, ive pulled the fuse untill i get it fixed.
Its definatly the switch

Yeah my wiring harness was melted and the switch was shot. It sucked. They sure didn't give people alot of room to work in
