2004 f150 headlight delay
Hello all thanks for looking at this... i think i posted in the wrong place before.
I use the auto headlights when I turn my truck of the lights stay on for about 5 min... is there a way to shorten this up??? less than a min would be great!!
thanks, john

From: Long Beach, Ms.
From the owners manual for my '08
The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for approximately
20 seconds or, on vehicles equipped
with a message center, you can
select a delay from 0–180 seconds,
after the ignition switch is turned to
OFF.
• To turn autolamps on, rotate the control counterclockwise to (illuminated lamp symbol) .
• To turn autolamps off, rotate the control clockwise to Circle.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a message center, then the auto
lamps can be programmed manually by:
1. Start with the ignition in OFF and the autolamps selected (illuminated lamp symbol).
2. Turn off the autolamps by turning the headlamp switch to circle.
3. Turn the ignition to ON.
4. Turn the ignition to OFF.
5. Select the autolamps by turning the headlamp switch to (illuminated lamp symbol).
Steps 2 through 5 must be performed within a 10 second period. At
this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn on.
6. Deselect the autolamps after the desired autolamp delay time
(maximum of 3 minutes).
At this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn off.

Thanks shorebird. Worked to set the delay! 2010 Mustang with added switch SW-6833 to give me the auto on/off feature. My car doesn't have fog lamps so I bought that switch rather than the one with the fog lamps switch too.
