Fog lamp switches

I think if my memory serves me correctly
From my 2015 f150
Place your headlight switch to "c"
Or from left to right "third notch" of 4
"Lights on . " Then your fog lamp switch should be at mid bottom left of steering wheel. A group of 4 switches One side top to bottom
On left is light dimmer the one on the right side of 4, top to bottom fog light on
Bottom off.
You will notice a green light appear on dash when fog is turned on.
****important to remember if you leave your light switch in the 4th from left. It is in "auto"
Mode on your fog lamps only work with the
Auto dimmer. So they will not come on during daylight*** and like bandits they come n at night🐼🐼.
So during the day if you want them on place the switch notch 3.
Another thing to remember if you don't roll
Your switch back to notch 4 "all the way to the right" your auto headlight dimmer will not work. Because if left in notch 3 it is in manual mode. So you have to use the
High beam switch on the turn signal switch.

If you want to play and make sure everything works correctly.
Place a newspaper over the 1 inch light sensor that sticks up in the top side of your dashboard. It looks a mini pyimad.🌋
Be sure to remove anything you leave covering item when your done.
Or the truck computer will think you live in the dark ages!

if I messed it up page
90 in the owners manual is a bit of info.
Hope this helps

Have you set up the My View thing on the instrument cluster? I set mine where I have it on the digital speedometer and it defaults to that.

I still find myself walking out to the garage just to look at the truck!




srkr I had this problem on my fathers 15' 150 and had to go in and delete all the trailers from the towing screen and start over.

I have to agree 100%. The price has really climbed!! (like most everything lately)

The new height of the SD 4x4 model. Difficult to drive into a 7ft standard sized garage.

The LONG LONG wait time on order!!

If the SYNC system works better than the 12 we'll be just fine. When it gets here we'll find out.

1. Third in class SRW GVWR
2. "Life is like a box of chocolates" RAWR
3. Increased turning circle diameter
4. No way to initiate a Regen early
5. BLIS doesn't work with 5th wheels (and I would assume GNs)
6. No two-way confirmation of remote start, why not offer Sync Connect?

The frustrating part is that all of these (except #3) are *very* easily addressed with a sticker, some code, or parts already in the Ford inventory.

The LED that glows green if remote start is successful (red if unsuccessful) is no longer on the remote?

It's there on the platinum remote...I would assume Lariat and KR as well, I don't know about the rest.

I'll have to humbly (and gladly) withdraw #6, how'd I miss that? Thanks for setting me straight. Still wish it came with Sync Connect though. Does the new two way fob have better range than the 2011-16s?

Be aware that Sync Connect is not hacker proof. There are many reports of these type systems being intercepted by malcontents destined to make your life miserable.

OK just had mine for about 12 hours now, and I slept 4 hours of those.

1) The steering wheel is made out of PLASTIC!! My Chevrolet I just traded in had a malleable type of material on the back and covering the airbag. It felt much more expensive.

2) The compartment at the front of the console that has the charging ports does not have an "exit" for the cord if your phone is plugged in.

3) I have the safe in my console. I would like to leave it unlocked where it opens automatically until I need to lock it. If you leave it unlocked it bangs on the bottom of the armrest.

4) The dash is PLASTIC with leather patches. The Denalis and LTZs are fully covered in leather.

Other than that, I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!! By far the smartest vehicle I have ever driven.
