Yes, I have had my headlights on while testing it, in the accessory position. I dont think the car needs to be running, does it?
Fog light wiring woes (pics)
- Thread starter 98 svt
- Start date
No the car doesnt need to be running. But the headlights need to be on in low!!!!So the issue is you dont have 12V on Red/Black #13 wire. That wire comes from what they call in the print MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH it must be in LO or PASS for red/black wire to have 12V to the fog switch. You need to find out why and test it!!!
I'll go out there with the Power Probe tomorrow and see what I find
Just to be clear, what color wire should I be attaching to what? Did I do it right when I posted earlier?
The wiring in notepad that I posted is correct and will work once we get 12V. Try this to confirm the wiring at the fog light switch and the fog lights are working. Disconnect
DB/WH from R/BK. Take 12v from where ever you can get it and attach it to DB/WH on the fog switch. That will give power to the switch to check wiring. We can chase down the other issue after you can confirm everything else works as it should.

Awesomeness. I'll check it out tomorrow and report back. Thanks again Vinnie.
Just asking the obvious, Has it been confirmed that the low beams work as advertised?
Sorry, I posted the above before updating the thread,
No dice. Only way I get any kind of illumination if if I attach the tan/red wire to the red/black. That lights up the switch, but the light just stays on on the switch. Doesn't activate the fogs either.
Using the power probe, the only wire that has any power with the headlights on is the red/black

Do you have a electrical print for the fog light circuit for your 98 mustang? I would also check the fog light relay and check Black ground wire at G300,G102 for good ground.

I do not have the electrical print.
I did just take it out for a ride and noticed that my blinkers dont work, and my airbag light is on. The hazards DO work though
I just sent you PM.
I wanted to update this thread for anyone that may come across it in the future and try to do this.
Short answer: You really can't
After talking with @Vinnie_B for quite some time on the phone last night, it turns out that the Escape fog light switches/buttons are not the same as the Mustang at all. The Escape switches are momentary switches, meaning they only stay hot while the button is depressed. Not sure how that works the fogs on an Escape though.
We also figured out I have a wiring issue elsewhere too, as there is no longer 12v where there should be for a fog switch.
I think I need to pull my console back out and take a look under there. Or are least start there.
Anyway, I just wanted to update this.
A BIG thanks to Vinnie. What a great guy, and just super knowledgeable. He is definitely an asset to SVTP, that's for sure.
*I am still on the hunt for an 01-04 fog switch if anyone has one for me.*

Just a question from reading .
The dash you Installed.
This had wiring already,,
And was a plug in.
Or all the wiring is 98

Hey P.J, Thank you very much for the kind words. We made some good headway in sorting this out last night, so now the job just need to be completed.... and it will.I'm 100% in this till its finished!! I want to see some foglights....lol. Whenever you need my 2 cents or some info dont hesitate. I believe your starting in the right place and I wouldnt be surprised it that's where the problem lies....C304F/C304M under center console. Happy hunting and Good luck @98 svt
I didn't install any dash. My car already had OEM fog lights. However I swapped out my console and radio bezel in favor of 01-04. Doing so allowed me to swap to the newer fog switch.
Oh trust me, I'll be in touch
Have you tested this switch on something you know works
