Saab: Fog Lights

    Fog Lights

    My fog lights operate only when the light switch is in the head lights
    on position and the fog light dash button depressed.When this is on, I
    have no headlights
    What is irksome is that this configuration does not allow the lights
    to be tuned off (as would the head lights)and I have inadvertantly run
    down the battery as a result.

    Is this normal? Can it be easily altered so that the fogs too would
    not operate with the key off?

    I'm not sure I understand your post. If you are saying that you can
    leave the "parking lights" on accidentally and run down the battery,
    this is true. The reason for this design is so that you can leave
    those lights on with the vehicle parked in an awkward position
    somewhere. I've often thought that there should be some sort of
    warning buzzer when opening the door and leaving these on since
    you can easily do it by mistake.

    As to your question on using the fogs: You can have a dealer
    reprogram the computer so that you can put the fogs on or off
    at any time. This won't stop you from leaving the parking lights
    on but it will let you use the fogs with the headlights, which
    might give you the same effect.

    In mypost I id not mean to imply or seem to mean any problem with
    parking lights.
    Only to ask if it is norma for the fog lights on a '92 9k to be
    ?remain on when the key was "off" or removed. If it is so do I really
    need to have the Saab dealer reprogram the computer? This seems like
    overkill to me. But then automotive engineering is not my forte.
