Reckon I'll get use to the turn signals.

Heard this before. "He'd complain if he was being hung with a new rope."

still getting used to the turn signals, thanks for the info on the interior light. Only been out after dark a few times with the new F250.

I have gotten used to the turn signals, but the dash brightness switch is a piece of crap, ford really thought that was a better idea?

I never use the auto on headlights because I turn on my lights even on a sunny day.I also don't use the auto dim ether. I did notice that I can brighten the dash lights but still not right yet. As for the turn signals. Hell people never use then anyway so I guess it's not stupid any more. LOL

Don't know about your trailer problem but fords signal light system isn't one of their better ideas. Signaling through multiple turns is hit or miss on whether you are signaling the right way. I figured they would have fixed it by now. Hopefully for 17.

I like the turn signals now that I have gotten used to them. The switch to control dash lights is something I still trying to get used to.
The issue with your trailer apparently affecting your interior lights is something that shouldn't happen.

Maybe it is time for you to move to Florida, as you might now be old enough. Then you can just leave them on wherever you go.

Heh. I'd say you gave them a fair shot anyway. Kinda cool to see you check in and update after 2 years. Definitely a fair shot!

I found the turn signals odd to deal with at first, but I am slowly getting used to them.

With FORScan, you can up the number of "blinks" for the lane change. I upped mine from the 3 to 7 flashes without the trailer.

I'd like to see the indicator lights higher on the dash.
