thanks. i get how that works now, but if i am correct that still wont get you the fog+highbeam combo that i really want. to do this i would have to do some slick wiring around the multifunction switch. it seems to me that for my application, the best thing to do would be to put in a separate toggle for the fogs, one that bypassed the multifunction switch. does anyone have a wiring diagram of the lights for a 97? also is trying this going to be a huge pita?
If you want your fogs on with parking lights, auto lights, low beams, AND high beams you don't have to do the complete switch mod. Connect #5 yellow wire to #12 brown wire. That gives power to the fogs any time the parking lights are on. They stay on with the high beams too, and are always on with the switch turned to auto. Again, THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE APART THE SWITCH TO DO WHAT YOU WANT.
All you have to do it ether cut or remove plug under both drivers and passengers seat. The dinging will be gone for good, unless you plug the plug back together or rewire it back.
Did this long ago... Yea!!!!
No more annoying dinger.
All Craigslist finds...
$50 ARE bed cover
$50 Rails & Crossbars
$100 thule bike racks
Used as-is (blue) for a time, then wife was driving and got caught in hail storm.
Used hail damage insurance money to repair roof (which was already damaged from previous owner, but you can'ts normally see it) to cover painting bed cover to match.
Scored a used Pace Edwards retractable bed cover off local Marketplace for $150.
Gone are the days of muscling the fibergass cover off, or riding with the cover open when I need to haul something tall.
Saw these USB ports somewhere else and got an idea.
My Supercrew only had a cigerette lighter "accessorie outlet" on the passengers side in the rear.
Of course, then my kids fight over who gets to sit on that side on trips.
I kept telling myself it would be easy to add another to the opposite side if I went to the junkyard and found one.
Well, for $8.75 each, I saved myself a trip to the junkyard, and also never have to worry about not having any 12V chargers...
Replaced the existing passenger side one, and added one to the drivers side.
Wanted to add a third for the middle seat, but there isn't enough
room behind the panel there. Still thinking on that one...

Trimmed down an Expidition roof rack to fit my Supercrew. Between this, and my bed cover-mounted bike racks, we're ready for many adventures...
Hey, that is a good idea, are the racks off a junk yard truck?
I also did the USB port in the back a long time ago, but just on the passenger side below the 12v accessory port. Great for the kids to play on their phones for those 12 hour drives.
Got the racks from a junkyard that sells on Ebay,
I tried getting them at the junkyard, but the screws are often so rusted, it's a royal pain. They were weren't that expensive off Ebay, and saved hours of fighting the screws at the junkyard.
Haven't seen any updates on this thread for awhile...
Well, on my truck tge retractable bed cover sounded better than it was...
The box ate up too much of the already short 5-1/2 foot bed.
I couldn't get my mountain bikes in there without turning them sidewats...
Ended up selling it, and am without a bed cover for now...
I'm an engineer, and am thinking up a design for a hard cover, yet foldable, stowable bed cover...
