Thanks for the Step-by-Step KG. I'm sure it will come in helpful for some owners that have yet to have their's burn up.

I have a 2003 LTD and am getting the damn fog lamps coming on thing! Draining the battery. Are we SURE it's the multifunction switch? Anyone know the 2003 part # on this? Danka

Also, does it help to unplug the lamps? or is it something else?

If you don't want to replace the multifunction switch right now, take out the 15amp fuse #8 from the fuse box inside the car by your left knee. You won't have fog lights but they won't be draining your battery down anymore either.
