F29 is a 5A fuse in the fuse panel under the dash. It supplies power to the autolamp sensor, transmission control switch, central security module, and belt minder module. The autolamp sensor monitors ambient light to control autolamp relays. As the light level decreases, sensor resistance increases to preset amount energizing relays, turning on headlamps and intrument illumination lamps. The sensor controls the headlamp relay which is in the auxillary relay box 3. Good luck!

What do you mean by your question? Does your truck have adjustable sensitivity for the AL? Mine is not adjustable, just a position of the headlight switch. If I turn the switch to headlights on, then AL is off.

4xnut, do you have any problems with the other circuits that are supplied by F29? If not, then I would suspect a problem with the AL sensor. The AL sensor is up on top of the dash near the windshield. There is a light green/yellow stripe wire that goes to the relay that turns on the headlamps. To test the relay, simply use a jumper wire to ground this wire. If the headlamps illuminate with this wire grounded, then the relay is good and the AL sensor is bad. Good luck!
