    I did. I told them the fuse popped once and I replaced the fuse. there saying basically just because I installed a different switch that its not covered by warranty. I deff called BS on them said I checked all systems and even the dimmer knob and nothing was working. when I replaced the switch I only touched four wires that were connected to the fog light switch

    Not sure if I missed it but why did you change the switch?

    I can see why they are saying the warranty won't cover it, it just depends if they are going to be cool about it or not.

    I've got a strong hunch the dimmer knob got twisted. I have a vague memory I stopped using the dimmer a long time ago because I got an unevenness in the dash lights.

    Larry H Miller Toyota on Copper and Eubank (near I-40) has taken care of me and kept my truck running. However, this was all on my dime since my truck has been out of warranty for eons now. They seem to know their stuff and I've had no issues with any work they've performed. Somewhere in here, I'm taking the truck in to have the flywheel re-done. I had an independent shop do the clutch and the starter/flywheel interaction has been hosed ever since.

    He's referring to the components I highlighted in the jpg:

    [​IMG]

    I have a guess at what Fred is leading towards but I'm holding it until he chimes in. Don't want to create any confusion since I'm not 100% sure.

    Fred, the resistor, not sure if it is external but guessing so. If I understand the description, the diode is the LED on the cluster indicating if the fogs are on or not, so yes, it is external.
