My fog lights kept coming on by themselves so I pulled the fuse to get it to stop draining my battery. I since researched that the switch for the fog lights needs to be repaired but I really dont have the extra money at the moment. Is driving around without the fuse in going to cause any long term affects? Or am I just not going to have fog lights for awhile?

As long as that fuse is just for the fog lights it will not effect anything else. Besides , how often do you use them anyway.

The thing about web forums it allows us to offer unsolicited advice. I do a walk around of my vehicle at least once a day just to see if a tire is low or there is a strange fluid on the ground or even if someone has taken my license tag ( yes-paranoia ) but it does happen.
