My three are

Defrost, Traction Control, Fogs

Heres an example pic

Ford put the same wires in all the cars regardless of if they had those options (trac control and foglights. On your car, the only switch that will do anything is the defroster, just ignore the others.

Well since you guys are kinda talking about this, my trac light is always on even when i push it, Does this mean its always off/on. How do i fix it?

No, it is traction control. When it is on, the computer will use the anti-lock to keep the wheels from spinning.

The ones with anti-lock do. Most of the newer new edge's that are auto have it. Atleast this is what I have seen.

Mine didn't come w/ it and I have a stick so might just be auto's... When the light is ON, (Button reads Trac Off) that means that Traction Control has been disabled.

The Sniper Tuning system allows you to tune the ECU to always have Traction Control OFF so it's a far fetch but you may have something other than the stock tune loaded to the ECU. That or a malfunction...

does anyone know what these wires go to?????????? still havent received a solid answer

mp4 player · August 13th, 2010, 06:18 PM

BadBlackGT said it already, traction control and fog lights. Options you do not have.

As for where they actually run.. they run to the nearest connector where one side has the wire going in and the other has none coming out.

I know the fog signal wire terminates in the driver side wheel well at a connector. I don't know why you'd cut them out... you'll just cause yourself more problems.

Here's a pinout of the foglight connector that will probably help with wiring fogs in if you plan to use the OEM switch.

SlowSix · August 13th, 2010, 06:21 PM

like they said....the middle one is for traction control...if your car is a 5 speed or doesn't have ABS you probably won't have it
third is for foglights...ford left the button and harness there for foglights in the v6's

atlckb · August 13th, 2010, 06:59 PM

but i dont have fog lights yet???

atlckb · August 13th, 2010, 07:00 PM

i will just figure it out later. i just bought the harness for fogs from vpm just now

mustangmike! · August 13th, 2010, 07:07 PM

ALL MUSTANGS CAME WIRED FOR
1: REAR DEFROST 2: TRACTION CONTROL 3: FOG LIGHTS

I do believe their is a way to wire a new set of fog lights into that system, and if you get a switch, they will work like stock fogs.... the VMP set just might wire into them idk

If your car doesnt have options 2 or 3 then they put a black stud in there to fill in and look right.
I snagged 2 switches out of a stang but i think one is broken it doesnt "click" when you push it in.
