Factory Fog Light Switch

[redone17]

These may help someone. The documentation says the wire is brown but it’s grey with brown stripe, position 43. That’s for the left fog. The right fog light is yellow with orange stripe, position 48. Both are 16 gauge wires.

Thanks. I’ve been putting this off for far too long.

Doesn’t your aftermarket fog harness have a ground wire?

No, it just came with a two-wire connector. I got relatively cheap fog/spot light combos—four lights on each side— but can always upgrade after I’ve finished wiring it up.

I’m putting the fog lights on my (new) OEM switch with the fog button, and spot lights on the aux switch.

Got it working. The fog lights are connected to my (new) OEM switch, and the spots are connected to the aux switch.

Any reason you cut and spliced instead of T-tap or otherwise?

When I did the same thing, I Searched high and low for pins to put in the connector, and couldn't find any, That's why I ended up cutting and splicing in a standard weather pack before the connector, While it would be nice to keep the factory wiring as it was, sometimes it's not worth the effort, especially considering that it will probably never have the factory sensor harness installed past the connector anyway.

You are my hero, i just bought a big band last week i didn't realise it didn't have fogs. I am going to make this a little weekend thing. Glad to see this can be done

Do we have a separate thread for the details on the rear fog wiring and switch capability? Or is it just kinda buried in here.

I did the standard OEM switch with fog button and everything worked great. But now considering ordering the switch with fronts+rears to save an upfitter switch and connect to OEM rear fog harness for additional rearward lighting after a trip this weekend requiring a lot of reverse on a narrower trail at night. But I don’t remember where we all indicated the part number for the OEM dual fog switch nor the end location, amperage and plug type for the OEM rear fog wire harness

If anyone needs a BNIB factory switch with ft fogs - PM me.

I'm fairly sure it's buried

has a part number for one of the front/rear switches... there is also one w/o the mirror pair on the left, the part for that is M2DZ-11654-BC there may be one more.. it's been a while since i went down that rabbit hole. Haven't installed anything yet though.

The good news about the switch is that all the wiring harnesses seem to be the same. There’s only like five wires going to the dashboard switch regardless of whether you have fog lights, side lights, etc.

Ok cool. Thanks man ! Where’s everyone grounding their lights ? I was going to run two pairs of wires and ground them around the fuse box and then just run each hot lead to that light. I hope I am explaining this correctly

 

[tilebroncodude]

i can verify the wires are the same!! success took me about 3 hours the hardest part was the torx screw that screwed into the bumper after the lights were installed

Do you have 360 cameras?

If so behind drivers rear tire at the bumper there will be a small ford electrical connector (cheap quality) 3 wires from the body and 2 to the bumper (those 2 go to the license plate light) The 3rd from the body is fog (if you get the dual OEM switch and turn it on in forscan). I installed a 4 pin dm plug and jumped the one ground so i had a license plate hot and ground and fog hot and ground. Me personally I used rear fog for a tire mounted amber chase light and used the diode dynamics reverse taillight kt for added rear lighting triggered off the backup circuit. i also used one upfitter so i can manually power the crcut though as a rear work light. The chase is DD Amber with red backlighting and the rev light is flood with red backlighting.
