Ranger Mods

Hi how do you enable fog lights on a xl
Thanks Greg

Never looked at one but I'm sure the BCM is different on an XL, also you may not have the fog light button. Feel free to take a photo of the BCM, module where all the fuses are inside the cabin and also a picture of your light switch then we can go from there.

Hijacking thread for progress.

You're right, the XL doesn't come with the fog light button. Im chasing around looking for one out of an XLT.
Hopefully I've gotten a picture of the right spot...

BCM is the same so should be ok. There is usually a couple of those switches on fleebay.

Fitted fog lights and headlight switch fog lights work but no warning light in instrument cluster any idea what could be wrong
Thanks

As-built needs to be changed in the instrument cluster also for it to display.

Thanks how do you go about that
Thanks Greg

Forgot you have a different cluster. Assuming the cluster has the fog light symbol then the change will be i;

Module IPC asbuilt.

720-01-02 xxxx-1xxx

Yours would most likely be xxxx-0xxx

Note x values are not to be changed.

If not already, you will need Forscan and an appropriate adaptor to make these changes.

Thanks very much have Forscan will try

Hi all works thanks you
Greg

I installed the fog lights as well, but there's no wires around to install a switch I suppose I'll need to buy a new stalk, I've found a new stalk on ebay UK, I think it fits my truck, but I'm not really sure, I have to ask someone here first. As you can see, here in south america only the XLT comes with the new interior, XLS and XL comes with the old dahsboard before the facelift

You may be on your own with that. So it is old dash but is it PX2 modules or old style CCC PX1 programming.

We do not have any of these cross component style vehicles here.

ok, I'll have to wait till I get my dongle to check my bcm, but I've seen mazda users replacing the stalk before and the fog lights succesfully working

I don't believe your vehicle would have the light sensor for auto to work. But by all means try it.

no it doesn't have, my xlt doesn't have it as well, I know it comes in the mirror and my mirror is a standard one. That's why I'm asking if someone have done that retrofit before? in vag is very easy, you can buy the mirror with the loom in aliexpress and there's a lot of information in several forums where to connect the new pins. Unfortunately I can't find that information for ranger and the mirror is only available in european disposal facilities

Auto light on sensor in a PX2 with a PX2 dash is in the middle of the dash board near the windscreen so different to yours again.

There is a light sensor in our mirrors but used for other features.

px2 xl plus still uses old dash in Australia made in South Africa mine spec vehicle

so I tried to enable my fog lights with forscan tool, I only encountered a chart with hexadecimal codes, no documentation at all. I really don't know what to do. Isn't there a more powerful tool out there that can let me survey all the option in the bcm? Otherwise I would need the chart of another ranger PX1 with the fog lights enabled so I can try to change mine

Yes, read this thread for PX1. PX2 information has no relevance to your vehicle https://www.saeb.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1213
