Why do you say turn on the light?
You say "turn on the light" because that is what you do. Turning on a light means to flip the electric switch from "off" (where there is no electricity and the light is dark) to "on" (where there is electricity and the light is glowing).
What is on off switch?
Say it is a power circuit, a light bulb is bright from the battery, flowing through the wires and the light bulb. There is a switch controling the power that goes through, so if you switched the off switch off, the power will no longer be flowing through(the light bulb wouldn't be bright any longer).

Why do bathroom light switches usually have a cord hanging from them?
I have never seen a bathroom light switch with a cord hanging from it and I've seen a lot of bathrooms. But if i had to guess. I'd probably say to turn them off. Electricity is conducted very easily through water. So if you let water run from your wet hands into a light switch in a bathroom there is a chance you could get a shock, even get killed. So some bathrooms have the switch on the roof with a long string to turn it on and off. So there is no chance of water getting to the switch.

I just bought a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer and I don't know how to turn on the fog lights can someone please help?
Does it have the light switch where you turn it clockwise two clicks or so to turn on the lights? If so then turn the headlights on then pull the dial gentle out. If the light switch is on the column then it is usually on the end and you pull the end out to turn them on. Then others will have a switch on the dash that will say fog light or something to that affect. Sorry, but I have worked on so many different model years it is almost impossible to remember exactly what year did what. I sure hope I helped some. Good luck.
