I've paid for balance parts (fogs, brackets, hardware, switch, wiring harness) and should have them in my hands by mid-March. Will update the thread when they arrive.
It's been a journey, and it's not over yet. US dealers can't get them, and dealers outside of the US won't ship to US. Luckily, I bought one from a parts retailer. Found the other one at a junk yard in Sweden. Had a buddy in Germany buy it. He has it now. Waiting for him to ship it to me!
Did you get them working? If so, which Alfa settings. I've swapped out my bumper harness--with one containing the LPG wires and plugs. Waiting to receive the second lamp.
I finally figured it out. The white tab slides (barely) to release the secondary lock.
Did you use MSFT or Android?
I made progress today.
Windows laptop.
See update in next post.
Might have to have an export cluster. You can see if you can force the telltale light for it to come on (if it’s even present) by connecting to the instrument panel, go to activate diagnostics, and activate rear fog lamps.
Thanks, Jimmy. There's no rear fog light icon in my cluster. Another part I need to search for! Anyway the fog lights work almost correctly and the Front (green) icon stay on for each of the 3 states. For some reason, I get push 1-Front, push 2- Front + Rear, push 3 Front (think it should be rear?)
"stays"
Working now. Thanks to Jimmy's response, I've discovered there's not a Rear Fog icon in my cluster--need an Export cluster. The switch works almost correctly. I get-- Push 1-Front, Push 2- Front + Rear, Push 3 Front (think it should be rear?).
I have found this cluster in Sweden. The truck it's from has rear fog, and it's the same year as mine, 2022. Any idea if I could transplant the rear fog icon to my cluster; and leave everything else intact, and functioning in my cluster?
Thanks, I did a similar test with Alfa, and there's no icon in my cluster. It's not a big deal. The front fog icon lights in all 3 ON states. I'll just remember that 2nd press is F+R. But, I'd like to have the Rear icon working. I contacted two of the 'cluster repair' services and they can't add the icon. I'm impressed with how the icons appear through the mask or grid. Maybe the EU cluster is it's a separate circuit board for the icons--but don't think I want to get involved with changing mileage, hours, and other stuff. I've read on some forums for other brands that people have added an LED and resistor. Don't know if I want to get that deep--but I'm going to take a look at my cluster and see.
While I've confirmed there's no icon (LED?) present in my cluster, do you know what this setting does: 2014 CBC Config I/O & Feat.-Fog Lamp Switch/Analog Spare Input #6 Present-Pin G2? Is it related to this, BCM C7/G?
That’s just so the bcm knows to use the fog lamp switch input on the headlamp switch. This setting has to be set to yes when equipped with fog lamps, otherwise, pressing the fog lamp button won’t turn them on.
OK, thanks. Just a curiosity question. Is the "export" headlamp switch electrically different from the US version; or does it just have the extra rear fog light symbol? I can't imagine that the fog light switch applies different resistance values with each press. I'm guessing the BCM "counts" the number of presses and turns on the correct light?
