'06 - '07 Headlight switch w/ built in fog light switch.......
 
would it be possible to get this to work on my truck and still be able to use the fog light switch that was built into it? I would like that feature and then i could have 2 switches that look factory on my dash but use them for something else? I know Bob or John will chime in......i really like the headlight and fog light switch together in 1 switch.......

I believe that the combined switch is 07 only and I don't have any 07 wiring diagrams yet. My guess is that it would work electrically but I couldn't say for sure without seeing the schematic.

ahhh man i can't wait till you get the wiring diagrams......i would really like to do that and use the factory fog light switch to use for something else....like controll the a/c compressor.....

^^dang that means i would have to also buy an new dash piece......ouch that could get expensive.........i though the switch was like the Dodge trucks were you pull the headlight switch out and the fogs came on....


BTW.....my gf said that is a cute picture of you kid...

ScottG Jan 21, 2007 01:13 PM

well, on my trac, its molded as part of the dash


dont know on the new rangers though

lifted97ranger Jan 21, 2007 01:16 PM

GrafixGuy Jan 21, 2007 04:34 PM

lifted97ranger Jan 21, 2007 04:36 PM

all you need to do is pull the switch out and the fogs come on.
07SPORT Can you wright down what color wires go to each post on the back of the switch?

Yeah and Thanks. You too. I like the Gauges in there.

lifted97ranger Jan 21, 2007 05:15 PM

thanks Cody........i like that but i bet it would be hard to mold into my dash.....

04lvl2 Jan 21, 2007 05:24 PM

Looks like they took a Focus headlight switch from like 02-03 and put it in the ranger. I like mine better.

GrafixGuy Jan 21, 2007 05:28 PM

lol, I love mine :) no problem Maurice, hope it works out for ya, I think it would be a cool mod...

03DualSport Jan 21, 2007 05:30 PM

good to know I'm not the only one who wanted to put this in their truck. I like the way it looks, maybe its just me getting tired of seeing the same switch for the last 4 years lol. The other reason I like it is because I dont have fog lights and would like to add them and this would eliminate my need to add a switch to the bezel. I like to keep things looking as factory as possible.

03DualSport Jan 21, 2007 05:38 PM

07SPORT: when you pull the switch to look at the wires could you get the part # for the switch and the dash piece the switch mounts to? Thanks

if you look at the wires, let me know what the part # of the switch and the dash trim around the gauges are if you dont mind so i can get prices.....

I already purchased the parts but the switch doesnt just plug right in. It needs a new harness connector and it has pins for extra wires. But i hink somewhere ther is a way to make it work. And i will find it!!!
Part numbers

trim: 7l5z*10044d70*ab $80-$122.28
switch: 7l5z*11654*ba $32-$48.12

Depends if you work there or not. LOL I did.
