Is the 1985 fog light switch different?
On my 85 my foglights don't come on until the light switch is all the way out. Is this normal? I have an 86 that they come on in the park position on the light switch. I also had an 87 that the fog lights worked in park.

From 86-on, your fog lights would work with your parking lights on and when your low beams are on. As you learned, they won't work with high beams.
BUT... in 85, in addition to many other one-year-only peculiarities, the fog lights would come on ONLY with the low beams. With just your parking lamps on, the fog lights will not come on.

Just some info from Jim85IROC that I thought was interesting:

BUT... in 85, in addition to many other one-year-only peculiarities, the fog lights would come on ONLY with the low beams. With just your parking lamps on, the fog lights will not come on.

That is interesting ... I always thought it looked cool to have the parking lights and fogs on (minus the headlights). Guess I can't do that in my '85 after all.
