Put both the headlights and fog lights on 30 A relays. Not only will the head lights and fog lights be brighter, but the headlight switch, fog light switch and MFS will last forever since they all will only carry the 100 mA relay coil current instead of the 20+ A the switches carry in their current configuration.

Even better idea. I’ll do the same with mine.

I have found the wire that's the problem. It's a red with a yellow stripe wire, and it seems to go several places. I've found it at the back of the instrument cluster, the back of the fuel switch, and the back of the check engine and abs lights. The fuse is still good had has power, and the wire itself has a connection to ground. I believe that it is the switch or relay that had gone bad, but I can't figure out where that is or what switches it. With the key off, it's 30-50 ohms to ground, and with the key on, it's 150ish.
