The splice for the wire, to get power to the fog lamp switch at any time.
Here are the electrical diagrams for the fog lamps.
86-1 shows the MFS ( Multifunction switch ) to the fog lamp relay fuse ( and via DRL , if installed ) The power to the fog lamp switch is only with the MFS in the low beam postion ( which means power has to be to the headlamps ).
Getting power for the input to the fog lamp switch ( White w/ black stripe ) from the parking lamp circuit ( brown wire ) gets power to the fog lamp switch in any position. After the splice, you can remove the 5 AMP fuse in the Central junction Box ( pass compartment ) position 27 if you want. it is no longer in use after the splice from brown to white w/ black stripe jumper is installed.

86-2 shows the actual fog lamp switch and relay operation :

This is what it looks like after the wiring changes on FedEx pilots site :

Let me know if this makes things better or worse.
