I have a 93 300ZX and when I try to turn on my fog lights, they come on and
then when I let go of the button they turn off.  The LED comes on but the
button does not seem to be working correctly.   Any ideas on how to fix?  I
assume this is a on/off switch correct?

Could be a bad switch, but first check the fuse under the dash and the fog
light relay under the hood.

Took the pod apart and switch looked ok but did make different clicking
sound than others.  Where is the relay under hood?  I shall check the fuse
and relay.

Thanks

The relay is on the driver's side, toward the front of the car.  You'll see
a black lid with a diagram on it.

Thanks I found it!  Right there in the open!  I just got this car so I am
not familiar with everything yet.  Well all relays look fine, even swapped
with another and no difference.  I seems the pod switch is bad, so I am
going to get another used pod and see if that helps!

Should be a simple fix either way.  If you'd like to learn more about your
car you should do some reading over at www.twinturbo.net when you get a
chance.  The Tech section and the search function will usually have an
answer for any question you have related to the Z.  Best of luck.
