You can mess around with buying used switches but in the end youll be better off buying a new one.

AArOs, thanks. I've looked everywhere for that. Dealer told me production of new ones were discontinued in 09 and some shop I know here in Orlando Fl wanted $170 for a new one. I'll get on that tomorrow, it's just a pain. It's my daily driver and I have a 6 yr old daughter. Wouldn't want lights to turn off while she is in car with me some night.

So I took dash apart to give it all a once over and look what i found, found a excellent pig tail from another Mustang at local junkers rewired and walla. It wasn't the dome light toggle switch afterall, it was the headlight switch!!!!!

Alert! anyone going thru same issue check this. I hope my experience will help a fellow Mustang brutha go straight to the source and get problem fixed

Thats a common problem. I rewired mine before it burned my car to the ground. From what I was told when using the foglights there is to much current for the gauge wire that is used and it over heats. The correct way to fix it is to wire in a circuit with a relay for the fog lights. I found a real good illustration and directions on another forum but I cant find the link i'm sure somebody else knows
