I�ve got a strange issue that makes me suspect my headlight switch might be the culprit.
Leading evidence: 'headlight switch might be the culprit' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'headlight switch might be the culprit' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean these if found w small stainless wire brush' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
But i don't know that i would suspect the headlight switch only because the turn signal circuit does not go through it.

I was able to use some J-B Weld to fix the black plastic and problem solved!
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I�ve got a strange issue that makes me suspect my headlight switch might be the culprit. All lights function properly except when I turn on the fogs. When I do, the left turn signal illuminates steadily (no flashing) and will not turn off or flash normally with the turn signal stalk unless I turn the fogs off. Once the fogs are off, everything is a-ok.
Additionally, whenever the headlights are on a green light for the rear fog light illuminates on the headlight switch assembly. I�m not use eif this is normal and/or related.
Has as anyone else experienced something similar?
Haven't had any experience with this issue. But i don't know that i would suspect the headlight switch only because the turn signal circuit does not go through it. The running lights do, but not turn signals. My gut would lead me to start at the tail light or head light assembly. The wiring inside these housing are known to fall apart (insulation falls off of cooper wiring). Maybe a fog light wire is crossed with a turn signal in the housing. Just a thought.
Sounds like you are getting feedback power from a faulty ground. Go to the light that has the turn signal illuminating when the fog lights are on. Check for a clean and proper ground connection to the body.
The only nearby ground that I can seem to find around the passenger headlight is this one just inside of the frunk. I unbolted it, light sanded the connections, rubbed with DeOxit and then retightend. The issue still remains.
I also have a spare set of headlights that I installed and they exhibited the same behavior so I think that rules out any issues with the current headlight unit itself.
Thoughts?
Well as soon as I post that I fixed it.
The headlight male plug attached to the headlight tray was apparently loose. I slid down the yellow piece that secures it and then fully pushed the male connector against the mount and slid the yellow clip back up in place.
Thank you for your post. I had the same problem and never imagined that I would find someone who knew of this and the fix. In my case, the black plastic around the male connector was cracked allowing for a poor connection. I was able to use some J-B Weld to fix the black plastic and problem solved!
I had similar issues, where couple of Right light Bulb holder contacts the 12V housing. Contacts to wires w/ silver looking plated contacts will corroded and turn green.
Clean these if found w small stainless wire brush. replace housing. Caution, make sure it is locked in, if not don't run over it if it comes out under braking.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
