1G fog light switch

[Skippysnax]

I didnt see any info on this problem so I have to assume its not common, but I hope I'm wrong. My 1990 Eagle Talon tsi awd's fog light switch works but doesnt stay engaged. I push it and the lights come on but when I release the lights turn off again. Is there a trick to get it to work? I will probably try and replace the button if somebody doesnt suggest anything else.

I would just replace the button.

ha ha I pulled the switch just now. I put it back in and forgot to put the little ball back in. I am looking for it now, but the light doesn't work now. I assume the little ball has something to do with this. What's my best bet for an OEM switch? Would the dealership have that?

Best bet for a switch is a auto wrecker or classifieds. Heck, I have one but I bet shipping would not be worth it for you.

A little off topic, but my GSR-4 is factory wired for my fog lights to always be on. There's not even the switch and they're even on with my brights.

I wouldnt be surprised if someone rewired them to an accessory or they might just be "running lights"

Nope mine are factory
my fogs are my daytime running lights.

Just an update on the fog light switch. I went to the dodge dealer and they don't sell the part anymore. The Mitsubishi dealerships do, but they want 65 bucks for just the switch. I eventually found one from a 92 eclipse at a scrap yard. It is in and working perfectly. The best part is it only cost 10 dollars and I got the entire cluster and a few trim pieces.
