The fog lights on my Jeep TJ Rubicon would not turn off. A thin piece of brass fatigues inside the switch and sends power to them all the time.

I know better, but, my frugality took over and I ordered a new one online. It was made in Taiwan.

The switch is simple to change and I buttoned it all back up and ran it through the functions. No signals or flashers.

The online guy gave me a refund and told me to throw it in the trash.

I called NAPA and they brought me a switch. I swear, it came from the same Taiwan manufacturer. I installed it, and had the same problem, no signal or flashers.

I had already done an internet search, and found several videos describing a repair for my problem. I dug my original switch out of the trash can, popped the back off and in 15 minutes had the thing repaired and installed back in the Jeep.
