Don,
It should take you longer to drive there than to have them activated.
Pat

 

Pat you are so right, then wait on them to figure it out and who knows what else...

 

I don't know if the SVE mentions the fact that the DRLs do not come on while the vehicle is in Park so given the initial dealer reaction you might mention that.

 

Thanks Chuck, added to my list....

 

Take a pictures of his face, we would like to see them!

 

Well here is what went down.

I showed them the paperwork and instructions. I stood there watching the laptop, we get down to the DRL and there are 2 and only 2 options:

1: NONE

2: Low beams only


So we selected Low beams only and that is exactly what you get.

Bottom line is they were correct, there no option for Amber DRL or anything other than low beams...

You can turn on your DRL from the dash using this procedure:

"The system switches the headlamps on with a reduced output in daylight conditions.
To switch the system on:
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Switch the lighting control to the off, or parking lamp position.
3. Disengage the parking brake.
4. Make sure the transmission selector lever is not in position P."

Page 68, 2015 owners manual, 3rd printing.

 

Sorry I must of miss where you mentioned amber lights. DRL running lights to me is that the low beams are at a reduced light.

 

Don,

This describes when the DRL's will operate. If you noticed, the title to this section, "DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (If Equipped)". The DRL's have to be activated in the SJB for this to work as described.

 

Larry, what is "SJB"?

 

right.. never amber.. thought they were required to be white

 

Now we get into the complex question of what are running lights? My guess is the only definition is what ever definition was given by the builder.

In my world they are lights at each end and each side of the vehicle, but does not include headlights.

you are correct, can be amber.. only forward facing

 

SJB is the small junction box, as mentioned in the Ford Bulletin (page 2 of this thread) I posted yesterday. The SJB is where the lights are controlled/programmed.

 

I was wondering if there is a way to keep the lights from coming on when the doors are opened or closed . I wanna run stealth at times and when I open the doors whamo every fricken light illuminates

 

Yes, that is called dark mode. It can be programmed via the SJB. Mostly used on police style vehicles.
