F-150 Fog Lamp Switch and Wire Harness Installed in Maverick - DIY

[Vtec87pr1]

So there are literally are no fuses for the lights in the maverick/escape? It's just the BCM that protects against over current?

Yes

hi guys im making a wire diagram to try to simplify the job for you guys can you guys give me an idea so i can make it easier for you guys to install it yourself i will take any advice thanks . heres something im in the procces of making. heres an example of pin install on the youtube link.

The wires i will try putting labels on them and the pins will have blue and red shrink tubing so you know wich one its left and right.

One of my customers install switch he install his fog lamps and i install f150 switch and my custom harness . Successfully working.

Looking great still working on my fog set-up.

Vtec made me a custom harness and it is amazing work. If you need a harness hit him up.

Okay, this is a very impressive amount of research and expert execution. I am looking at getting JCC's bracket mounts with diode dynamics 3" pods, because I like how OEM it looks outside, now I think I have to go with this mod inside, can't imagine a better combination.

Agreed

Still working like a charm on mine no problems at all.

absolutely agree with you. just amazing Ford didn't offer something like this.
I'm considering doing the modified FX4 bottom valance w/ dual stacked Diode Dynamics SSC1 lights from Justin (or maybe go with the single SSC3) with this wire harness from Antonio. My maverick is scheduled for a 12/4 build.

Theres no fuse. The fuse its built in to the BCM . The only fuse they come with from Ford its on the Main switch.

As long they dont install something that consumes more than 30 amps. And or 37watts like f150 fog lamps i think they should be safe. It would be a good idea just in case installing a external fuse. But i guess im going to have to add more to the cost.

I have some diode dynamic SS3 pro fogs, the new BCM and am waiting on JCCs mounting bracket. The specs for these LED fogs say that pull 38 watts.

Any idea where to even begin to look at what this BCM can supply? it would be super convenient to not need an external fuse but am willing to add some extra circuitry / fuses/ relays if there is even any doubt.

You dont need a BCM

You dont need a BCM

I misspoke, I mean the new headlight control switch box

I will get to you after work about this topic as i had someone installing same fogs and worked like a charm. I will need to check the wiring diagram and your fog light specs to see how many amps and watts.

38W should be fine. The bulb fog light equipped Escapes utilize 35W rated bulbs. If it's too much wattage then the BCM would just shut it down, and then your alternative could be just to use it to trigger a relay.

Hey looks good great job I have hybrid have to see if it will work because of fuel door switch

Use an F-150 PowerBoost (the hybrid configuration) switch.
