While looking around in Forscan I noticed an option in BCM to enable the rear fog light option. Having had two GTI's both upgraded with EU-Spec headlight switches and wired with the additional fog light bulb got me wondering. How hard would it be to do the same on the Ranger and what specific bulb would be used? Would it go to the driver's rear tail light like most EU-Spec rear fog lights or would it be wired to light up the third mount light over the cab?
I found an EU - Spec headlight switch part number CB5Z11654BA and it retails for $65-80 depending on where you buy it.
Then I found this thread on the mustang forums about enabling and wiring it on a 2017 Mustang.

Looking as the instructions it doesn't look to be all too difficult. I was just wondering anyone done this yet?

several steps are involved in your project:
you need to get wiring terminals for connectros c205, c2280B and c2280C.
for c205: https://www.te.com/deu-de/product-2098762-3.html?source=header-match
for c2280C: https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail...=sGAEpiMZZMs7eK6h2EBtKrDPZUGUvv8Sk5Ng7Z0BJqM=
not sure which one it was for the c2280B connector….
1. you need to run a new wire from the light switch connector (C205) pin #2 to the BCM connector (C2280B) pin #8
this wire let's the BCM know when you want to switch on your rear fog light
2. you need to run a new wire from BCM connector (C2280C) pin #25 to your fog light
this wire gets 12V from the BCM and powers your rear fog light.
3. you need to change your BCM's Asbuilt data on the following lines:
726-28-01 xxxx x*xx xxxx Rear Fog Enable Cfg: 0=disabled --> 1=enabled
726-24-01 xxxx xxxx *xxx --> 4=IL norm, WL inhib, BL norm, RFL norm
Those two lines activate the needed circuits inside the BCM.
4. and lastly you have do change the following on the IPC:
720-02-02 xxx* xx Rear Fog Indicator Cfg: 0=disabled --> 2=enabled
this line will make sure that the small amber indicator on the dash turns on when you switch on the rear fog light.
Looking as the instructions it doesn't look to be all too difficult. I was just wondering anyone done this yet?
