Yes, but they may try to charge you for it.

Simply scream at the top of your lungs: "WHAT??? You are going to charge me for a mouse click when you are already in my computer? Are you out of your fricken minds? I will never, ever buy another FORD from you greedy ba$tards EVER!"

They will then be happy to do it for you free of charge...

Worked for me.

I simply unplugged the sensor in the dash so that my lights stay on all the time in auto mode. (switch turned all the way to the right)

Was easier than going to the dealer and trying to "train" the tech on what to do in the software, which only runs them at a certain percentage of full. I am fine with them being 100% all day long, rain or shine.

Do your dash lights still still have a high/low self adjusting option? I am thinking the sensor controls that too?

Nope, they do stay at whatever level they are set to when the lights are on.

I can still turn the light control switch to off, and the headlights go off, and the dash lights go full bright.
