Thanks for the info. Apparently this item is on back order with unknown eta.Yes, they are a Ford dealer and want to confirm you’re ordering the correct part for your vehicle. The next step is them telling you it’s the wrong switch because you don’t have fog lights and you’ll reply that you’re adding fog lights and understand that you’ll need to activate modules…then they will process the order. In reality it’s a great double check they provide.
Also, I don’t know why folks are so secretive with VINs. I can go to a dealer right now and take note of any number of VINs. If someone is going to grab your info there’s so many ways for them to do it.
Thank you! Let us know if you have any luck with the parts!
@Bee Bop, While your received switch was wrong , I like the way you achieved success. I have chased the correct BACK ORDERED assembly until I am satisfied there isn't one stuck on a shelf anywhere. ( I have checked all but the UK and waiting for the fellow I asked to respond). While chasing, I thought to reread your post and deliberately order the wrong part. I think that you backed into a great success story. great job!The switch issue is solved. I ordered the Switch ML3Z-11654-DA
everything was correct except for the mirror light buttons were not there, I had these buttons instead.
I was reading in this Thread about how they are on back order now and was stating to get P.O.ed that I had the wrong switch, but then I got to looking at the switch to see if there was anyway I could some how make it work. That Is when I noticed that the left buttons were a separate module that pluged in to the main switch. So I started taking the face plate off and was able to remove the buttons. i then replaced them with the buttons from my old switch.
Volia I now have a functioning switch with the foglight button and the correct lamp buttons.
I tested the functions and everything is working properly. All that is left to do is activate the foglight button once my BD light kit comes in.
@geking - mind sharing where you found ml3z-11654-da? A lot f these ford site show the parts but after you order come back and say its out of stock. I had the same problem as you with MD2Z - so going to plan 3 ... thanks to @beebop for the alternative@Bee Bop, While your received switch was wrong , I like the way you achieved success.

As such, I ordered both the single as well as dual versions of the ML3Z-11654 - _ _ IE (-DA and -CA).
Both were in stock and shipped vis USPS today. Just a little money to give it a shot and see If I can follow your path. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
If I have any luck with the rear fog, it will be due to our friend D2dhanover. I appreciate his helping finding PIN #3 in the license plate light harness for me. While my Bronco isn't even built yet, It is scheduled and I hope to have made a little more progress by the time it gets here.
Thank you again!
George

They did not stock and had to order them out of a Ford distribution warehouse. I do not know how many more there are??? I am still hoping to get the correct original from a forum member that can't use it. smile

Interesting - I checked them out - they are Escape / Explorer switches - look the same except for the gas tank lid switch where I have puddle lights. Not sure if I can swap - but good backup plan in case I can't get the other parts - thanks.As a side note, during my parts chase I found that the light switch module has over 123 different variants. If you go to ebay and type in Ford Headlamp Switch Assembly you can see a whole
bunch of them with different shapes and options across many Ford platforms. Do a sort for "2021 Bronco Headlamp switch" for a good visual on a few options. I'm going with Front Mod Bumper Fog Pocket and a rear SAE SS! fog to utilize the dual switch. WHY? just for fun.
Warm regards,
George

I wonder if someone (Ford Tech) might be able to Identify the part # on the factory fog connector. There is a Mopar harness list here (https://parts.ford.com/content/dam/.../Wiring_Pigtail_Kits_Wiring_Terminal_Kits.pdf) so if I can Identify WHICH plug it uses, we're good to go.It’s right under the tow hooks of the modular bumper. Should be included on High package as well
The harness is capped off with an empty socket plug. You can use this empty plug to make your own pigtail harness. Black/green stripe is ground on both sides. The positive is brown for drivers side and yellow/orange stripe for passenger side.
