Just fixed mine today. 77,000 miles on my 2005 TJ Sport. Used the butter lid piece and shrink tubing but when I reassembled it and installed it, if I would moved the blinker lever, it turned the fog lights on. Too much thickness. Pulled it apart again, removed the butter lid piece and tubing then shrunk another piece of tubing only around the lever, reassembled and walla, it works like a champ. Just love driving that Jeep. Great fix. Thanks for the video.

This was perfect. Just got a 2005 LJ and put fog lights back on it wired to the factory wiring. Once I put the fuse back in I was having exactly the problem described in the video. I was easily able to follow the instructions outlined here and fixed everything better than new. Thank you so much for such a good video 😎

It works! It really was easy after the fact. Word of advice, the switch locations matter. For the newbies like me, the switches (white pieces) have specific spots/slots that allow the turn signal to move, the headlights to turn up and down, etc. Before you put the assembly back in, make sure everything turns as it should, check the blinkers and headlights, took me three tries to get the switches arranged so they could move as they should. When I put them back in, I basically blocked the movement bc I didn’t realize there is path the switches have to follow.

This was an excellent demonstration, and exactly what I needed to see. I didn't want to have to replace the switch, but all other troubleshooting led to dead ends. Thank you very much!

This was exactly what I needed. Great video, excellent talking points and very detail oriented. The close up shots were perfect. I watched this several times as I did this process on my LJ switch.

THANK YOU! I had previously done the repair filling in the divot with JB Weld as shown by others since I did not have a heat gun or heat shrink tubing. It worked for about a year or so but the issue came back. With this repair, you can do it all in day rather than wait for JB to cure. Working fine.

This may be the most understandable repair clip I have ever seen on KZfaq.

Very well done and thoroughly detailed video! Going to be giving it a shot this weekend.

Tons of help bud, you're a hero!

The night before buying the whole light switch came across this video. Thank you very much

Added fog lights on my 05 for the first time and found out they stayed on even with everything off. This worked like a charm. I used a sliver of plastic from a dealership tag. Thanks

Absolutely Awesome!! Was thinking about building it up myself but I like your idea better! Many thanks for sharing this knowledge

Will be fixing this tomorrow morning, got too late to take care of it tonight. Temp solution: With the Jeep parked for the night. - To turn off the fog lights until you can fix it, just put the arm up or down in the blinking position, it will turn the fogs off and won't wear down your battery. Thanks for posting this.

Hmm this looks great. I have repaired mine a few times, but rather than building up the indent as you did, I was building up the plastic knob part that pushes up (breaks the circuit by lifting it up when the switch is off) using JB Weld. Unfortunately with the method I used, I was repairing it at least once a year and sometimes it took me a few tries to get the size just perfect (either the lights would stay on, or they would not come on at all, rinse and repeat until I got it right, then it fails again in a year) ... Anyway... thank you. This gives me one more thing to try before I give up and wire it to a separate switch.

Fantastic repair. Quick and easy. Way to think outside the box for a fix!

This is great! I’ve got 3 of those complete units in my garage that I’ve replaced over the years on my 2004 TJ. After the last one failed, I just pulled the relay. Looks like a great project for a winter afternoon! Thanks!

What a great video. Can’t thank you enough for doing this. I had basically given up on my fog lights. Several years ago I bought a new multifunction switch thinking that would cure the fog lights “magically” turning on. After a week or two same issue. I was so annoyed I just disconnected the fog lights. Found your video this AM so decided to give it a try. Perfect! Fog lights are back! This issue must be a design flaw in that switch. That part on my new multifunction switch looked just like yours so doubt that it’s a wear issue. Anyway thank for your help. Much appreciated.

Awesome video!! Very informative and professionally edited. Keep the Jeep content up please!

I had this problem and followed your instructions. Took about a half hour and worked great. Super easy. Thanks

Wow! Excellent clear narration and video. Followed instructions and fixed!

Well Done! I just did this today and it worked perfectly.

this really worked and saved me hundreds of dollars, definitely take pictures as i had to put it back together twice as to get all pieces working correctly. Good informative video, thanks for helping me with my problem.

Superb! If Jeep used people like yourself to engineer its products we'd have a much simpler and better world, but their goal is maximizing the bottom line. Hopefully, you're making more money than they would pay you anyway. The shrink tubing is a brilliant application. Now on to the CEL light LOL!

Thank you so much for this. I have been debating on buying new versus fixing because I couldn't find the right video to fix it. Now I'm going to give it a shot and hope for the best.

Sweet! Thank you for posting the details on the switch, and thanks to those who commented on fit and checking the position of the switches. For what it's worth I used JB Weld steel epoxy with a bit of sanding, all good. Thank you for saving me some grief and keep well!

Wow! It works! Good point about taking a picture of the internal switches. You may want to mention that when you take the picture of the switch es that you note the position of the stick as it affects the switch positions…thanks for your video!

Worked like a charm! Had an issue when I put it back together the first time where headlights were staying on even when switch is off. This was due to the ball portion of the light control arm not being aligned/inserted into the groove in the long skinny piece on the right hand side. After that, everything worked besides turn signals. Found out all other lights work without the keys in the ignition besides the turn signals ha. Thanks for the video!

Great video walk through. Thank you. All fixed up now

Thank you so much...! My setup had both the switches, the blinkers/lights and windshield wipers. Still work pretty much the same.

Just got done doing this. Awesome video. Fixed my fog light issue!

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm. Only took 15 minutes!

I bought a new switch already. I did not know i could brake it down like that!! You just McGyvered it. Awesome.

Great walkthrough, as a temporary fix just pull the 20amp fuse under the hood to keep them from coming on. Should be #19.

I can confirm that this works... sort of. It fixed my fog light problem, but it prevented my headlights from turning on. the heatshrink was pushing up a bit on the vertical sliding switch for the low beam/ marker lights, so I had to file a bit of plastic off of it. Everything works fine now :)

I thought I could easily do this with these instructions. My fog lights would come on randomly. Completed the procedure and then none of my lights work. No headlight no turn signal, ... Ok looks like I fixed it. I put a little too much shrink wrap. Took it apart for the third time cleaned off lots of grease. Put it back it. NOW it works. Thanks for the video

great video, thank you for making this and sharing your knowledge!

Awesome. It worked. Unplugging the electrical connectors was a challenge because I knew that i couldn't screw that step up or it would cost me a lot of money.

Great work, my fog light issues is now in the past thank to you. Although, I didn’t go the rubber route. Instead I used JB Weld plastic bond and then brought it down with a dremel.

Thank you, worked perfect.

Thanks for a great video. It worked just as you said. Did everything just as you did. Saved me a ton of money!!! Thank you!

Hey I have rebuilt a 94 YJ that is still in the family . Recently acquired a 2004 Sahara on a lean so I got her at a very good price . Fogs not working bulbs missing. Knew it! I planned on going into stalk control and take a look then found your viddy. You saved me a lot of time and effort. Thanks ! They all have their common problems . I am Also replacing Fuel Rail as the Damper(very common) is leaking onto the Manifold. Some plug it off. Not sure the right way to go. BTW is that a Pom hair @1:05 ? Mine helps me drive also lol.

Thanks. Fixed in about 20 minutes. I only used the shrink tube, 1/4 inch diameter by 3/4 long, since I don't have lights hooked to the switch, figured it would be enough to keep pressure on it so my little green dash light doesn't come on.

Just completed this fix. Used a piece of a credit card style gift card. Working great so far. Thx!

Exactly what I needed! You saved me $200 plus tax at the dealership for the part alone.

Great video! It solved my problem. Thanks!

Exact problem I’m having! 2004 TJ Rubicon with 150K miles. Will try this weekend. Thanks for the video!

Well done and thank for the fix to my problem!

Very nice info

I am having the same issue, nit sure if I am brave enough to try this, thanks for the info

fast and easy fix. your video was spot on. I used an old gift card as filler.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Used your method and it solved the issue, thanks!

This is a much better idea than replacing the entire module. Gonna do it this weekend, thanks!

DID YOU SAY BUTTER LID???? HES A MAD MAN ! ! !

Thanks for sharing! Saved me some $$!!

Same problem, same mileage. Easy fix, thank you!

You just saved me $160! Thanks!

Worked perfectly - saved $! Thanks!

Can’t wait to try this!!!

Worked perfectly. I just used Hard as Steel instead.

Very helpful tutorial. However, I still do not understand how the switch is actually turning the lights on. Is it closing a circuit with the little piece that sticks through the inner circuit board?

Awesome video. You sound like Ron Swanson. I am going to assume you look like him too

Thank you! You saved me $$$

Awesome thanks

Have the same problem with a WJ 2004 , wonder if they are the same or allmost the same ? ? cant find other videos

What diameter shrink wrap did u use?

does this apply to my fog lights not coming on at all?

Them little red clips have been a pain in the ass to slide back on my two plugs

I don’t even have fog lights on my Jeep. But the fog light on the dash won’t go out. Any ideas anyone???

Fixed my problem , now my fog lights don’t turn on when u switch them on but I don’t really care .
