2006 Grille Removal

I don't but if it comes with one when I get it, I can get it for you?

[05canuck]

I can get one tomorrow and check it out..If we have one in stock. I'll let you know.. I'm thinking it will have the harness right to the dash light switch

[AshleyTatton]

Yeah it's the wiring and switch.

[05canuck]

We have nothing in stock just in the US but I did ask and the wiring should be right to the switch..so complete.

[AshleyTatton]

I just picked it up from the post office, waiting for the sun to go down a bit before I go out there and try er out.

[AshleyTatton]

...Now what?

Yeeeah, I have pink carpet.. It's a rental, I don't get to choose! I can see where the fog lights plug in, but whats that big grey block?! Are all those little plugs going to replace where my headlights are already plugged in?

[GT4MT]

Not sure I got a complete and comprehensive answer for you Ashley, but sounds like you're on the right track,if that's any consolation. Looks like you got the complete wiring harness that goes quite a ways back....I suspect some of those jacks will be for the headlights,foglights, and turn signals, as well as a ground. The module may be for turn signals, hazards and daytime running lights.
I would say the best piece of advice I could give you , would be go slow on your installation, take plenty of before pics for reference, and only unplug one jack at a time (this is bitter experience talking there!!!). I'm guessing/hoping each jack would be unique on each side for the specific component, but there's no guarantee. Good luck....I'm sure you'll do fine,and someone will likely have a more detailed answer before too long.

PS- love the carpet....do the drapes match?

[AshleyTatton]

Haha, you went there! The carpets match nooothing. My curtains are bamboo, couches blue, tan, and black. I've been putting it off but I'm going to go look at it I guess..

[05canuck]

Nice complete kit! make sure you post some pics after..use lots of ties

If it is a Ford factory harness, start looking for connectors/plugs that have the same color as what is on the harness you are putting in. You will likely find it less trouble than you think it will be.

I can't wait to see the finished product... don't forget to post pics

Good on you, Ashley for taking on this challenge! I as well look forward to your progression reports.

[AshleyTatton]

Now I'm trying to decide if I even want to hook them up. I don't plan on using them, never have had to use foglights before in my life, and it'd save me about $200... It looks great without them hooked up.. Should I still do it just for funzies or send it back and take the cash?

[GT4MT]

Um......don't mean to sound like an , but I respectfully submit that if you weren't sure about it, why bother throwing down the cash for them in the first place?

Sending it back, especially if you got it on E-bay, has pain in the ass written all over it, even more so if it had to cross the border. Added to that, I think most places have issues with taking back electrical components, although I could be wrong.....depends on the seller.

I never use my foglights either....seems everytime I do some moron flashes me with his high beams, thinking I've got mine on. Mostly for looks I would think...personally I like them, but to each his own.

Good luck whichever way you go....

[AshleyTatton]

Cause I didn't consider not hooking them up in the first place, but now I have them on not hooked up and it's fine. I might as well just do it now that I have them.. Bah.
