Headlamps

Does anyone know where the sensor for the autolamps is located on 04 F150?

I think its a trick to make Robbors think that it has an alarm system.

I found this out one day before work when I put my time card in the dash and it covered up the red blinking light thingy. After about 10 second of being there, my lights came on. I took it off, and the light went off.

Thats why I am so sure.

Your truck came with a maunual for a reason. And just because it is there doesnt mean its built into it, there can be two seprate parts housed in the same little "bubble"
