2014 Fog Lights Default to On with FORScan

[jordankeck]

So I am new to FORScan, and used it recently to program a 2nd key, enable remote start, turn on DRL parking lights, and a few other things. I flipped through all of the info that I could find, including the search feature on this forum, but could not find a solution to turn fog lights on by default.

So what I am hoping to find is that there is an option on the 2014 Explorer that FORScan will default the fog lights to be ON when the headlights come on. Has anyone run across that option?

Welcome to the Forum Jordan.
FWIW, I hate seeing fog lights ON with the headlights when there is no reason to have them ON. They are not driving lights. Some manufacturers are now not even adding fog lights anymore. In any case, that is just my personal feeling on the topic.
I'm sure someone may have the answer, so good luck.

Pretty sure on my 14 Sport, if I turn on the fog lights via the button on the dash (by left knee), they always come one whenever the headlights turn on.

Thanks for the welcome! I understand that not everyone likes to see them on, but I am not one of them I normally will go a step further and make them turn on with parking lights like they used to be on older vehicles. I am just hoping FORScan has an option bc that would be much easier than moving them to parking lights.

As for the lights staying on, mine will do the same for the most part. The issue arises when you manually turn them off or other scenarios that seem to interrupt that. Once the fogs are off, you have to manually turn them back on. This is why I want them to default to on.
