Dave: I need to tell you that eBay seller is a crook. He sent about 30 pages ripped out of a 960 page manual and has not responded to messages. They were not even pages for a 740. He sells a lot on there and has a decent feedback rating, but when looking at the actual feedback, he does a lot of this and gets away with it due to volume. I am trying to get eBay to refund me. So I'm still looking.

I did some not pretty connecting from the headlight switch input over to the fog light switch to get it connected to the main ignition controlled relay. Then connected all output wires from the switch together and replaced the rear lamps with smaller wattage, still brighter than the bottom tail lamps. This got the fogs working any time I want them, without the headlights being on. Amps was just over 10 and I hope the switch will handle it. If I ever get a diagram I might try to use the relay, but this works.

It looks to me like the factory intended that the switch would need to be replaced to get the black & white wire connected if optional fogs were added. It was on a dead terminal.
