Default Rear fog light switch

2004 Discovery
Anyone out there seen the fog switch on the bottom right of the binnacle with the little indicator light permanently glowing. Any suggestions appreciated

I have not. Are the rear Fogs illuminated?

Possible cause of switch illumination would point to a stuck relay. Switch the relay with a know good unit and see if the light extinguishes.

Thanks I';; check it out. Lights on the vehicle are not lit, just the amber indicator on the switch

Pull both fog light bulbs. Inspect the terminals inside the socket. The ground terminals will sometimes twist out of shape and extend an unwelcomed invitation to electrical gremlins.

Maybe it's a Rear Fog Light Switch being used as CC switch?

Nice! Relay may have been "stuck" closed.
