    Hey all,

    So I've noticed a few times at night that my fog lights will come on while my truck is parked in my driveway for a few minutes for no reason. Keys are not in the truck, doors are locked, so I don't know what could be causing it. I did the Fog Light Anytime mod but I don't know what could be causing the fogs to come on. Has anyone else run into this before? I do sometimes leave the fog light switch in the "on" position at night if I come home after dark and they're on, since they turn off with the ignition but what could be sending power to the lights like this?

    The Tacoma has a "scheduled" leak verification after IGN is off. You must've tapped into the circuit parallel to that one for you Fog Light Anytime mod.

    What is it check for leaks? Thanks for the info, though. I will have to check to see which circuit I tapped into and maybe move it to another.
