Disable auto headlamps

[_M_]

I’ve searched but haven’t seen anything.

Has anyone figured out a way to have the truck start without auto headlamps ?

I’ve always put electric tape over the photo light sensor on the center of the dash so the lights are always on. Technically, they are no longer auto that way. Not sure if that helps.

forscan is your (probably) only choice if its available in the features

Good idea but not what im looking for. I just want to be able to choose how my truck starts up. Lights on or off. Like every other Raptor I’ve had and every other vehicle. Even my Volvo let’s you choose and they are super automated

Yeah I think you’re right. Ford could fix it with an OTA.

Just need to find the code for forscan

I doubt they will update at all. With all the cars I see around here running around in the middle of the night with nothing but the daytime running lamps on, I can understand why they've programmed it this way.

I see that occasionally too. It’s pretty rare though. The issue there is more the programming in DRLs. They are so bright now people think they sometimes have headlamps on. DRLs should deactivate when it’s dark.

Having the inability to start the truck without headlights on is a miss. There are many of us that need to start the truck up in the dark and don’t want the lights to come on

Have you tried "Dark Mode" in forescan, it's what law inforcement uses.

Mine remote starts with just the parking lamps on. Headlights don’t come on until I hit the start button to leave. Maybe it’s set wrong in your SYNC somewhere.

Mine does the same. I don’t want mine going on at all when I hit start.
