Dimmer/lane change switch problems!

Does everyone, or just me, have problems with the lane change signalgoing on when you activate the dimmer switch on their 2012 Ford F250? 80% of the times when I dim the lights, if Idon’t carefully pull the leaver back, those stupid lane change lights goon! (I cannot say this is one of Ford’sbetter ideas!)<o></o>

Is there away to set the sensitivity of the lane change switch so it doesn’t go on withthe slightest nudge?<o></o>

I have no problems with my 2009, but my '93 F150 had a recall for a problem with that stalk.

I haven't had that issue on my f250 or my f150. Maybe it's a warranty issue for you? Worth checking into.

Hi Suz,

I recommend mentioning this to your dealer the next time you're in for a maintenance appointment; they'll perform an inspection and determine if a repair is necessary. If you need any additional assistance, feel free to PM me; be sure to include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership info in your message.
