Holiday Rambler Fog Lights
I have a (new to me) 2001 Holiday Rambler Imperial and cannot seem to find a way to turn on the fog lights. I also cannot get the daytime running lights to come on. I have a switch on the dash for the DRL but no switch for the fog lights. Any thoughts on this?

Fog lights won't come on unless the headlights are on (usually).
In some vehicles, if the parking brake is on, the DRLs are off.

Rambler2001,
The fog lights should have a separate switch from your headlights. Turn headlights on and fog lights will remain off unless you turn that switch on for your fog lights as well. Turn your headlights off and your fog lights will also turn off even if the switch for the fog lights is turned on.

My fog lights switch is on the arm rest.
If the Bright's are on.
The fog lights will not turn on.
Only when the Dem switch is on.

Gentlemen: Thanks for your replies and assistance.
Here is what I found:
With ign. on, lights on low beam, turn on "driving lights" switch, no fog lights.
With ign. on, lights on HIGH beam, turn on "driving lights" switch, fog lights turn on. I know this is backwards but I tried it several times with my "Boss/Helper" watching the lights. At least I finally have been able to see my fog lights burning, even if it's on high beam. Not good if it is foggy, however, so I guess I have some more trouble shooting to do to get it right. I'm not sure if oncoming drivers would notice the high beam in daylight but I know it is not correct.

This is correct. They are not fog lights they are actually driving lights Fleetwood has any this way on many of their Class A Motorhomes

I had a 2001 imperial and the driving lights worked wether the headlight were on high beam or low. As far as I remember they worked separate from the headlights. The daytime run lights need to have a module plugged into the harness to work. Maybe yours does not have one. Mine was located in the electrical bay under the drivers window(outside).
I now have a 98 imperial and the driving lights are separate from the headlights on it as well.

Yea, I disabled my 97 Silverado DRLs by pulling the fuse. Can't do that on newer models, they are integrated in with other systems I think.
