problem #2

There is a ghost in my car! The fog lights come on randomly, even when I am not in the car. So far, they have killed the battery four times. The first time I was unaware and replaced the battery thinking it was the battery. Then co-workers started coming into my office to tell me that I left on the fog lights. No, no I did not. Yesterday this happened again, and I could not get the fog lights to go out. A stranger told me he owns a PT and when this started happening to him, he disconnected the lights. So, off I went to have them disconnected until I can research the problem and come up with the funds to make the repair. Certainly, this is a common issue with PTs. Does Chrysler have no responsibility? No, of course they do not. It is a corporation.

fog lights keep turning on! even when the fog light switch is off. Replaced the multifunction switch. The car was repaired and the problem never came back. Satisfied.
