I have the same, it's a block heater. It traces right back to the underside of the block by where the freezeplugs are.

Yep, its a block heater. They are basically standard on anything here.

Fogs are simple, Mine which is a 05 ST, had the wiring harness, relays and fuses all in it. I just cut the bumper, Installed the fogs (Ebay OE ones) and replaced the Headlight switch with a factory one /w Fog option. (Had to make sure it also had the CARGO button to.)

Then went to the dealer and got it starscanned for free. Some dealer wont do it free obv. But I got it done free. Only took a few minutes.

Post for Cutting the bumper, Removal and installation (Easy)
Remove 3 Bolts down each side by the tires,
3 More across the front ontop of the bumper,
and 2 Pressure clips on the bottem Under the truck

And post for the Headlight switch. (Lots of pics)
My fogs didnt come with screws or anything to secure them to the steel bumper. Other then the plastics clips on it. I used I think #14 3/4" Screws, 1 or 2 per fog. They are spots for them

Thanks, I told them we already got one!

Mine's got fogs that work! Thanks for the reply though. I was thinking that maybe it was some problem with the bumper/foglight area that required a little modification.

Cheers.

I didn't see any harness under my 06 ST bumper for the factory fogs. Any pointers where to look?

I had HID's for about a month. Total waste of my money, IMO. I got a set I'll give you for free if you want them.
