Headlights Turning on/off

[mculver]

Has anyone had any issues with their headlights turning on/off at dusk or in the mornings? Mine will cycle within 30 seconds when the light is just in between where the headlights should turn on or off. You would think that the time cycle would be a minute our so. I have never had a car with auto headlights be so sensitive to the dusk / dawn time to have the lights continually go on and off. Wonder if my sensor is going bad. I have a 2016.

Also my interior dash color on the gauges always reverts back to blue, no matter what color I set it to.

On my Infiniti i've been told that is something that is programmable at the dealer. They supposedly can change the sensitivity. Not sure if that is something Ford can do. Might give the dealer a call and ask if that is even something that can be done.

Headlamp delay - this is a configurable setting in the information display between your gauges.

I think that's just a setting for how long the headlights stay on after the car is shut off. Not sure if it also affects the delay of them going off in a low light situation while driving around.

what is does is makes it so it has to be dark for 30 seconds or longer (forgot the setting as i have it on max) before the lights turn on. So not a sensativity thing, but timing.

Will stop the lights from coming on if you go under an over pass, but will let them come on if you are in a tunnel.

I know there is a setting where they come on-off with the wipers, though this doesn't sound like it's actually related to your question.
