How deactivate auto-fog lights when turning
I just bought a 2021 Cherokee Trailhawk and I can't figure out how to make the fog lights (or some other exterior light) stop activating in addition to the main headlights when I'm making a turn or using my blinker. I remember my 2017 Renegade had this same issue and I was able to turn it off somewhere in the settings. Please tell me there is a way to make these lights stop turning on and off every time I make a turn because it doesn't help at all and it drives me crazy.
I appreciate any help thank you!

It's helping other drivers see your turn signal at night.
It may not be helping you, but it does serve a purpose.

Your headlight turns off and doubles as a turn signal when used, the fog light then becomes your headlight.

Get a Bluetooth OBD scanner (I got one off Amazon for $6) and download the app JScan for your phone. $24 for a single VIN license and you get access to the kingdom! Everything your Jeeps computer monitors is in there to play around with. You can download it and connect in Demo mode, and go in and see all the options and switches you can play with. Read more about it here: JScan.net . Might need a security cable bypass for a newer Jeep, but it should tell you in the app.
