Default Fog Lights / High Beams

Is there anyway to wire up the fog lights so that they are on both when the low and high beams are on??

yes the 01-03 is simple by bending a tab on the relay. If no one post time I get home I can show you what you need to do on your 05

in my truck there is two white relays, the one closest to the body of the truck is the relay for fog light, on the relay the is five pins, two that face the side to side, three that face front to back, if you have the relay sitting where the pins are face up and the two pins to you left side, you need bend the closest little pin of the three faceing front to back, then reinsert the relay to make sure it works, if you want to after you make sure it works and you dont want to go back to before the mod you can break the pin off

2004 and 2005 rangers you do this

Passenger side kick panel


For 04, Ford has largely replaced the GEM and CSM modules with these, called "Smart Junction Boxes" in Ford speak. We're interested in the 22 pin connector and the 29 pin connector.

in the harness coming out of the 29 pin connector, locate the brown with white wire. Isolate it out from the rest of the harness.






Cut the wire with the wire cutters far enough from the connector that you could splice it back together if you wanted to reverse this mod in the future, but far enough down from where they all bundle together that you can reach it over to the brown/white wire to splice them together.


Scotch-lock to splice the wires together. There are many methods of splicing wires together in this manner, some prefer stripping, splitting and wrapping, some prefer T-tabs, others insist on soldering all their connections. Scotch-locks are by far the easiest, and are in my opinion sufficient for this application. (If it were to become disconnected, the malfunctioning fog lights would not pose a safety risk to the vehicle or its occupants.) The pliers are to crimp down the scotch-lock. Note the remainder of the orange/light green wire where it is still connected to the Smart-Junction Box.



Use electrical tape to tie-off the remaining wire to prevent it from shorting against any exposed contacts and potentially blowing a fuse or damaging electrical components.

That will only work for 01-03 and possibly the older rangers

Yes it can be done on a 09 but it is different than the 01-03 and the 04-05

04+ are almost all the same schematics. I believe Bob confirmed that the fog wiring is the same on all 04+.

I recall that HP freak from R/F a long time ago had to make RELAY and RELAY HARNESS for his 2007

Maybe I am wrong and he was overdoing it

That statement was true in 2006 but Ford changed the foglamp circuit (and a lot of other things) in 2007.

  • 1999~2000 bent pin mod
  • 2001 another bent pin mod
  • 2002~2003 yet another bent pin mod
  • 2004~2006 needs a wire rerouted at the Smart Junction Box.
  • 2007~2010 requires an added relay and wiring at the SJB.

Ah, I must've misread. Thanks for clearing that up Bob.

On the 22 Pin locate the orange/green and cut that one, and scotch lock that to the brown white. just make sure to tap the right side of the cut into the scotch lock.
