I have just replaced my multifunction switch problem may be getting worse.
What is your question?
just replaced my multifunction switch because of a turn signal issue, also flasher relay. Problem persisting. May be acting even more odd. Fuses seem fine. When right hand turn signal in use fog light indicator also flashes. Fog lamps haven't worked right since I bought it 3 yrs ago. They stay lit if fuse is in . But took it out yrs ago. Don't see any obvious shorts or bad wires... Suggestions? Also is it possible to just get the 20 pin connector somewhere without the pigtails and such ? Just need new clip wires seem fine. It did get a tad melted but I think that was from driving it at night a couple times during all this .... Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks for your time .
What makes this problem better or worse?
Time seems to be making it worse.

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
My first thought is that your fog lights may not be "factory installed". In that case, it would make sense that you would have such issues. I'd recommend having someone disconnect tapped in wiring to the lighting for the fog lamps, which are probably not properly installed in the first place. This will resolve your signal issues, and allow you too maintain the proper fuse where it is required.
"A tad melted" as far as a connector - this is a major concern. You can probably obtain a connector if you try; if you're capable of doing that work - yes, do some looking and you can find a connector. Or reach out to a shop near you.
Lighting wire connectors can melt due to the large amount of power going through, but especially if wiring is tapped in that doesn't belong.
