Fog Light Anomaly?

[Sgtgrunt]

I recently noticed that when the truck is running and I turn the wheel to the right the fog light on that side comes on and turning left the that one comes on. When the steering is centered they are both off. The lights do not appear to be at full brightness when this happens. This was noticed with the headlights on Auto, during a bright sunny day. The DRLs stay lit and the headlights stay off when the Fog lights come on .

I understand that my truck has electric power steering assist, could there be a connection between the two systems?

Anybody else have this happen to them?

My Vehicle is a 2024 Ranger XLT 4X4 2.3L w/12000 miles.

It's supposed to do that! It's a cool feature that provides additional cornering light when turning. If you turn your foglights on then both just stay on regardless of steering wheel position

It does it when the blinkers turn on too.

I disabled that crap in FORScan. but its the cornering lamps. The non led projector trucks (halogen/led reflector)use the fogs, the projector trucks have a cornering lamp in the headlight.

I just recently discovered this on my 25 xl
I thought it was only available on upper trims. Its just implemented differently, via the projector head lights from what I understand.

Cool feature.

Yes, the raptors and lariats (‘24 and ‘25) with projector headlights have a dedicated cornering lamp built in, while the xl, xlt, and ‘26 lariats with reflector headlamps light one fog lamp in low speed corners.

Thanks for the info. Never thought it was intended to do this.
