Sometimes there is a smaller dial-type switch that wraps around the turn signal stalk that controls the foglights. I haven't been in a Freestar to see first hand, so I'm just offering a suggestion on where to look.

First thing to do is check the owners manual.

 

[...]So I pull the switch, doesn't move. Err, so how do you turn on the foglights? Look to the front, they're already on. . Turn the switch left; they turn off. Look in the instruction book; there's not even a mention of foglights on the truck. .[...]

No, first thing to do would be to read the whole post before answering

Second thing would be to ask the people who know about cars & Fords; so I'm posting here.

Final thing would be to ask someone who doesn't know anything about Ford, or cars for that matter: the Dealership.

 

my 98 had a switch for fogs that was mounted under the radio, next to the defroster and all that garbage.

that was 6 years and (supposedly) a chassis ago, tho.

 

Dose the freestar have fog lights? Or dose it just have CORNERING lights. They look like fog lights, but they turn on when you make a turn to light up on the side of the car. Most minivans have this instead of fog lights.

Oops, actually I did read the whole post, but I somehow missed that.

Good luck with your fog light quest i guess

 

I looked at the owner's manual online and it seems that there is no switch to enable/disable the fog lights, they will go on automatically.

 

go to your dealer with the car and tell them there idiots and that they didnt walk you around the car...the whole idea of CUstomer satifaction is that you should know about the car upon delivery take it back and sey hey dude WTF are they fogs cornering lights and can they be turned on or offf... they should know there the dealer im surpied they didnt explain everything to you ...damn ford dealer.

Base don't have anything.
Sport have foglights.
Limited have cornering lights.

I'm pretty sure Ford just wired the fogs in series with the headlights to save costs. I'll check out a dealership today if I pass near one to confirm (my parent's car is 300km from me right now).

They probably don't call them foglights either, since most states/province have laws prohibiting the use of foglights when they're not necessary.

Thanks all for the replies!

 

Are they the daytime running lights for the Freestar in Canada on that model?

No, the headlights are the DRLs.

(I see in your .sig that you have AdvanceTrac. My dad's Freestar has it too. Can't wait to see it work in the snow

That will get you a ticket here in Oklahoma...... Bad design if you ask me.
