Wire up fog light switch
Does anyone know how to wire up the factory fog light switch> I haven't got one yet but am going to get one soon to wire up some fog lights that I got. How may prongs does it have, 3 maybe? I have no clue. If someone could help me out great.

I appreciate it. Ok tell me if this is right.
3 - Powered relay coming in
4 - Ground
5 - Taped into lights for like the dash when I turn the headlights on or whatever
6 - Going to fog light

No, 3 is the output to fog lamp relay which then goes the lights
4 is ground correct
5 is power to the switch and to illuminate it
6 is going to the lights as well
I don't know why 3 and 6 both go to the lights but they do.
Here's the diagram if your interested to see it.

ok, so when you turn the light switch on, it puts power to the fog light switch which then lets you use it. Also, when you turn the light switch on, it illuminates the fog light switch right?

what are you talking about?
trent you kow what im talking about right? i know it was on the edges i think. the same switch you turn your head lights on with you can pull it out and cuts on the fog lights. thats what i want.
Thats only 08s, might be 07s I'm not totally sure.
I looked on rockauto.com and found it... I think. Just look for 08 ranger headlight switch.

How about this? For the time being I am going to put in an after market illuminated switch. Instead of ignition wire I would use headlight power.

The fog light switches are also in the 04 and prolly 01-06 i think or pull it out of an explorer same bezel and switch the only thing diffrent is the back windshild wiper control but you can also use another fog light switch in there for other lights

Ya, I am just going to wait on the bezel I want. I dont mind if it has a 4x4 switch on t but i dont want the rear window shield washer button or rear defrost. If it just has a 4x4 switch and then the fog light, I figure I can wire the 4x4 switch for something else and just paint over the part that says like 4 hi 4 lo and what not.
