    Below is procedure for checking the resistor. Mine was bad; however, replacing it did not fix the same problem I had. I narrowed my problem to the wiring at the blower motor connector. The high resistance there partially melted the connector and wire coating. I spliced the wiring and three of the four settings now work. The #3 setting worked a short period. I might need to do a little re-wiring. Don't know what could be causing the high resistance. Blower, maybe. Never considered the fan switch.

    New throttle body and idle air control valve are on. Sitting at the smog test station hoping that "Martha" passes smog.

    Just failed. They don't do the dyno run where I'm at since its a 2000 or above. All of my sensors weren't working since I got a jump due to a dead battery. I didn't even think that would change anything. Three days ago all my sensors were good per my scanner. SMH

    Time to go drive 50 miles to reset everything.

    Yeah you will fail if all your sensors aren't checked in. That will reset the computer when the battery dies out. That sucks. Get a battery that holds a charge. When I got my truck I had to go to the smog shop 3 times before I passed.

    Had anyone wired in duallys or other aftermarket lights into the factory fog light switch? I'd like to install like that if possible. Not so good with electrical :)

    I should have clarified I'm running Tyler's front bumper so no fog lights installed at the moment. Just need to wire up the duallys but want to use the factory switch. I found a thread on here a while ago but can't seem to find it again.

    Odds and Ends

    Cut the factory fog light connector off. Turn on the fogs and test the two wires with a meter, test light or your tongue, whatever you got. Solder the hot one to the red and the other to the black. Done.
    Led fogs draw less amperage than factory so no need for additional relays or higher rate fuses etc. Just wire em up and yer good to go

    Looks like you about covered both, haha!

    After that check your scanner to make sure your ECU has enough data to test!
    Sometimes it can take even more mileage.
