Ok so I bought my XJ back in 2002 and ever since then I have been blowing fog light switches (not fuses). It starts out as them not coming on occasionally when I turn the lights on. When it starts doing this I usually just tap or jiggle the switch and they come on. This then becomes more frequent until they stop coming on all together. I have taken apart a few of the switches each time this happens and everytime the inside of the swith just looks like it melted. Right now I'm running Sylvania Silverstar bulbs in the factory fog lights and they have been in for about 4 or 5 months. I bought a brand new fog light switch at the stealership about this time last year for $35 and it finally blew about 3 weeks ago. There is a jeep salvage yard not to far from where I live so I drove over there and pulled one out of a TJ for $5 and it lasted until recently so about 3 weeks. Now before the Sylvania Silverstar bulbls I had one original fog light bulb and one that I replaced with OEM replacement about 2 years after owning the jeep. But like I said I have, until recently, been frying these switches almost every year. Any clue to what my problem might be?
