So my fog lights I had to unplug them because if not when I turn the car off they would still stay on. So I just unplugged them. On my dashboard it's always says it's on except if I gently push the lever with my palm of my hand it goes away but if I let go it turns back on.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions. First, where did you unplug them? Second, what are you pressing on to cause the light to go off?

Next, look at pic 1. It shows the fog light switch and the wiring to the interior indicator light and the other blue wire goes to the lights themselves. I suspect it is the switch that is bad if the indicator stays on. The switch is allowing power through it all the time.

Let me know. I suspect fixing the issue will require the replacement of the multifunction switch. However, let me know what causes the light to go off.

Take care,
Joe
