Someone please tell me I’m not crazy here! I’ve got a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited and within the past month, I noticed that my exterior lights were no longer working according to which setting I had the control knob on. I will explain in as much detail as possible below. Before I go into that though, I wanted to mention that I took my vehicle to a local Ford dealership, and they told me there was no issue and that the lights were working as intended. I swear it’s not right and am hoping to get other opinions to either tell me I am, in fact, crazy, or that there really is an issue here (and what a fix might be if anyone knows). Here's what’s happening. There are four settings on the exterior light control. A. Off (Daytime Running Lights on – DRLs) B. Parking Lamps C. Headlamps D. Auto Lamps From the owner’s manual: Note: I have the Conventional (Non-Configurable) DRLs When I have the vehicle in Park (P), all 4 settings work as intended. However, once I put the vehicle into any gear (Reverse, Neutral, Drive), both the Daytime Running Lamps and Headlamps are always on regardless of the control setting. This is the part that I don’t believe is correct, as the Headlamps specifically should only come on if I have the control set to either “C” – Headlamps, or “D” – Auto lamps (AND it is dark enough for the lamps to turn on). Otherwise, only the Daytime Running Lights should be on. And I know they used to work this way, up until about a month ago. Here are pictures of what I just described: 1. Vehicle is in Park (P) and the setting is on either “A”, “B”, or “D” (and it is light enough for no Headlamps): 2. Vehicle is in any gear (Reverse, Neutral, Drive) and the exterior light control is on any setting (including “A” - Off). Both DRLs and Headlamps are always on: Hopefully that all makes sense. If there are questions or clarification needed, please let me know. I’m planning to try and take it to a different Ford dealership for a second opinion, but I wanted to also see if anyone else has experienced this or knew of what the issue might be. I know it’s a minor issue, but I like my vehicles to work correctly. But if I am really going crazy, please let me know, ha!

I just had my DRL's activated on my 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium at my local Lincoln dealer. It took less then 5 minutes from start to finish. All that was done was a laptop was hooked up to the data port then from there they were turned on. The DRL's are about one third the normal brightness of the headlights. They come on automatically when the car is placed in gear. If anyone wants this done they can contact Alan Rains at Witt Lincoln (619) 358-5079 alan.rains@wittlincoln.com 588 Camino Del Rio North San Diego, CA 92108 They will charge $59.00 to perform this service

I am searching for two Kansas City area volunteers to help me with the final step in the development of my new aftermarket lighting product which will soon be bringing to market. These lights are designed specifically for the 5th and 6th generation Taurus. I need your help to confirm the final design fits and operates properly on your Taurus. After the installation I will then shoot marketing photos and videos. My two volunteers need to be willing to spend about 2-3 hours of time with me to install and photograph the car. I would prefer for this to take place at my location in Overland Park, but I am willing to come to you. For your time and help, my two volunteers will receive a free installed set of the new lights.I am very excited about this new product. There is nothing like it on the market today and will add great style and added safety to the Ford Taurus. As most of you know, there aren't many aftermarket products being made for your car, but with some help from you guys, we can help change that a bit. Please PM (private message) me if you are interested helping out. include your email address in the message please. With many thanks, Dan Smith -
So I noticed on my build item list in ETIS it says less daytime running lamps. This makes no sense to me as I am ordering a reserve package. It appears even the base model has daytime running lamps am I missing something. Isn't the DRL's that line of LED lights in the facia that goes under each headlight?????
