High beams and fog lights

[osage91]

Can anybody lead me in the direction of a solution that would allow my fogs to stay on with the high beam headlights? I have the led light group if that matters. Also not looking to purchase a $250+ programmer if it’s possible to do it without one.

AlfaOBD for pc or android, gateway bypass, and a OBDLink usb/bt module ... best bang for the buck---

Cheap(free) solution hold your flash to past on, pull stalk back and hold instead of pushing it forward.

That way does time out though after a little.

Here’s information for a Gen 4, not sure if it’ll work on a Gen 5: https://www.ramforumz.com/threads/high-beams-and-fog-lights-key-power-tapping.187421/#post-1509948

How To: Fogs on with the High Beams

Thanks for the info. I just bought a 2020 3500 and want to have fogs on with high beams. I would really like to know what is driving the fogs to turn off on 5th gen trucks. I know on other brands, sometimes it's a high beam relay that cuts power or ground to fog relay. On other vehicles it's the pcm that controls ground to the fog relay.
Had anyone researched this? I'd really like to know if it's as simple as supplying ground to a fog relay terminal.

I have the LED headlights and fog lights. I’ve jumped some relays in the past on older trucks. Anyone know if this is possible to keep the fog lights on a 2019?

I am looking for the same thing. There was a company that made a jumper wire of some kind for the 4 th gen.

TazerDT.

It's controlled by the BCM. Not going to jumper around it in the 5th gens.

This seems to be a US standard thing that fogs drop with high beams. I grew up in Ireland and over there fogs always stayed on with high beams. Very useful on a dark wet night with side-ways rain. Wouldn't matter in heavy fog because you wouldn't want your high beams on in real thick fog. We also had rear fogs, an extra bright red light ( or sometimes two, but usually one ) at the back. It's genuinely useful when driving in, you know, actual fog, when it can be hard to see the car in front. Forgetting to turn the rears off when you drove out of fog was a sure way to get flashed by the guy behind you because they were annoyingly bright in normal night time conditions. But I don't think I've ever seen rear fog lights on a US vehicle ?

Not a domestic built vehicle. My 2002 US spec Volvo S60 has rear fog light.

I used this and it works well. I have had no issues and easy to install.

I thought the only way to do this was through the BCM? How did you do this on your ram 5th gen?

It doesn't list RAM as a compatible application.

Well he really missed it on that one

 

[jeffjcalweb]

Solution was already listed - AlphaOBD - its an easy change to make.

Or TazerDT, even easier than. alfaOBD

about the rear fog light. AEC, that prepares the RAMs for the export market in the EU and UAE adds rear fog lights in the bumper and adjust the light button in the car to make available to put on and off the front and or rear fog lights.

here you can see the rear LED fog lights and tucked away above them, the reflectors.

Yes, but offers features you can't get with alfaOBD. So need to weigh the features it offers and decide if it's something you would want. For me, it was a better bargain than alfaOBD because I use the TazerDT features more than I have used alfaOBD
