Unless you have a Ford fog light kit that plugs into existing wiring it would be unwise to fit your foglights except by the old fashioned best practice method of keeping the new wiring completely separate from the existing vehicle wiring. It is too easy to inadvertently upset computers and other electronics.
You will need to supply the lamps via a fuse and relay from the battery. How the relay is to be triggered depends on the regulations where you are. In the UK for instance, fog lights must only be used in fog or falling snow and in conjunction with dipped headlamps so it makes sense to draw the relay trigger current via a dashboard switch from the dipped headlamps. This means the foglights can't accidentally be used except with the dipped headlamps...

hi from uk the fog lghts? i assume front fog lamps ? the head lights have to be on dipped beam then the fogs will also work but in uk this is so as to prevent fogs only being used (blinding oncoming traffic ) if weather conditions req fogs to be used for poor visibility ? then the side/tail and h/lights must also be on like wise the rear fog light/s operate the same way hope this helps and makes perfect sense ?? all above is assuming bulbs have been checked and fuse/relay and power to each lamp ?

I wish to fit nudge bar to my territory, is there an instruction manual available
The
following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any
electronically controlled engine or transmission problem. The
engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only
for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the
transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in
most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory
of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as
the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done
is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system
for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for
engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained
technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then
based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the
correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer
replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other
basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with
the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine.
The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear
engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related
problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many
drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms
