Yes, it can. Just cut the switch and fuse off and wire it into the auxiliary switch. I did it with my fog lights, and light bar. The switches have a built in fuse so need for the inline fuse.
Yes, mine does the same thing. I even called before I bought it and they said it wouldn’t. They do have a relocation kit to move it, but who wants to pay more money or take more time to do that. @DV8offroad
