Parked by G, turned off car, fog lights decided to stay on

After I parked my car, turned it off, my fog lights stayed on. I found this out 30 mins later when I tried to start my car again. I couldn't switch them off at all. They stayed on until AAA came to jump start it. Anyone have this problem before?

You physically turned the fog light switch to the off position and they didn't turn off? If so, your switch is the problem which is an easy fix.

Yeah exactly, I turned all the **** and nothing turned those lights off. This was the first time its ever happened. Since then, its been turning off fine but I don't want to risk it happening again and being stranded outta no where

No its actually all stock. Can I get this fuse replaced under warranty?

+1 this would be a great "mod." It would be nice for Infiniti to make it possible, but if anyone can figure out how to make it work, that would be awesome!

Fog lights are for driving in fog (duh). As an old fuddy-duddy, I don’t understand why some of you like them on all the time.

I don't know about driving with them on all the time...but being able to just turn on the fogs would definitely have its advantages IMO (even if it's just for shows and whatnot)

Buy a Canadian model! We get to see our "fog lights" on all the time as they do double duty as Daytime Running Lights.
