Dealer is wrong. The LED fogs were NEVER DRL's from the factory in the USA, the DRL's are the tri-bars, the fogs are off, if the fogs are on with the car on and the dial in the "off" position or "auto" position, then this means someone changed the code that we found, either ford themselves, or the previous owner if there was one.My car seems to be unique (or mis-programmed). My fog lamps will NOT turn off when in DRL mode (tri-bars are on too), even when the headlight selector is in the OFF position.
If the headlights are on (no brights, no parking brake), the fog lamp button works and allows to switch fog lights off/on. In DRL mode fog lamps are always on. I have the LED fog lamps. The dealer acknowledges it's odd, but says per Ford this can not be changed as it's inherently programmed this way on my vehicle.
Could this be reprogrammed to correct?
Normally they way it should work with the Fogs being DRL's is they turn on when the car is started, they shut off when the headlights come on and you would have to hit the fog light button to turn them on, they also will be on when you have the dial on parking lights only. ONLY when the headlight is on will they shut off, if they dont, then the as built code also was changed to remember the last setting (Fog button on).
This can be changed from the codes we have found already.
