HOW DO YOU TURN ON FOG LAMPS 2002 FORD EXPLORER XLT?

I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2002 EXPLORER AND IT DID NOT HAVE A MANUAL I JUST
RECENTLY BOUGHT A MANUAL STILL WAITING TO RECEIVE IT IN THE MAIL. I DONT
KNOW IF THE FOG LAMPS JUST DONT WORK OR IS THERE SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO?
THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SAID TO PULL THE LIGHT SWITCH OUT AND
THEY WOULD COME ON?%##x** I DONT KNOW, ANYONE PLEASE RESPOND

SEEMS LIKE YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION!!

On my '05, you do pull out the headlight switch and the foglights come
on when the headlights are on. Don't know if the '02 is the same, but
probably is.

Turn the caps lock off.
Now, have you checked things such as fuses or even something as simple as if
your fog lights have bulbs installed?

bezel?

I AGREE IT APPEARS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HIS CAPS LOCK KEY.

BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!

Turn the switch to either park or headlamp position and pull the switch
outwards. The foglights automatically turn off when high beams are
selected...

Of course not. You have to turn off your caps lock, first.

You can download a pdf of the manual from

..

To operate the fog lights, turn on your headlights and then
pull out the knob. They will only operate with the head
lights are on low beam.

The fog lights are intended for use in fog. Please keep this
in mind. Some of your fellow road users (like me) get ****ed
at SUV drivers who use fog lights as weapons of
intimidation. And before you tell me how much they help you
see, don't waste your time. I've owned 1 Explorer, 2
Expedition, and a Mustang with fog lights. From time to
time, I have turned them on. I have found them useful once -
when trying to follow the edge of the road at low speed in a
snow storm. In that case, the fog lights did a reasonable
job of adding light to the area immediately to the front and
sides of the vehicle. At a low speed this was useful for
following the edge of the road. At normal highway speeds,
anything in this area would already be to close to respond
to. When driving in town, all the fog lights do is annoy
other drivers. I did have one person tell me that they used
their fog light when parking to help illuminate the parking
space as they turned in. This seemed reasonable (maybe as
good as the old "turning lights"). Otherwise I write off all
the people who ride around with fog lights ablaze as
inconsiderate jerks.

Finally, typing in all caps is considered rude. But then so
is top posting. Oh well, I guess we can survive this top
post.

I think you mean when the low beams (or parking lights on
some models) are selected. There is absolutely no reason to
run "fog" lights with the high beams.
