Amber parking Lights daytime fix

PJF · Jul 13, 2013

I have been wanting to find a way to have the parking lights on during the day and cut off when I cut truck off. Yes I know you can turn them on and off when the knob. DRL not available for my raptor because of HID. I just get in a hurry and forget. So tomorrow after I install the pop a lock in the tailgate. I'm going to find the wire that turns them on and tie it into one of the Aux switches which will turn everything off when truck is off.

Seems like a lot of effort to use a different knob to turn them on and off

The great thing about the Aux switches is you can leave them on all the time. I currently have three of them used for light bars. I never turn them off. I'm just glad Ford programmed them to cut off with the ignition.

the (+) parking light wire is yellow/blue pin 6 in the bcm in a grey 10 pin plug. passenger side

the (-) parking light wire is grey in the plug at the headlight switch. 10 pin plug as well, pin 2.

edit. the (-) parking light wire needs to be interrupted in order to trigger it

Makes sense then, I still have nothing wired to my Aux switches

And then say, "Ala-Kazam!" and it will work.
Wait.
What?

Can someone describe WITH PHOTOS this for guys like me who are electrical idiots? That's why you have a shop, Busa - guys like me.

I'd check your local laws before you go through the trouble of re-wiring. It is illegal to drive with just your parking lights here in CA.
