I jsut noticed on my 98 Taurus SE that there seems to be another position on
the headlight switch. I can pull out the swtich abpit 1/8 inch to a detent
when I have the headlights full on. I can't pull the knob out in any other
position. I tried leaving it inthis position but it doesn't seem to change
anything. Anyone have any idea what this is for?

Thanks

Auxiliary lights? Fog/Driving?

It's for fog lights, which I believe were only available (from the
factory) on the Sable.

i belive that when you pull the switch out you will find a small hole under
it, with a small flate screw driver you can depress a tab inside and the
switch knob will come off, this is the way that the whole switch is
removed .
