BlakeF6 New Member 10 Member For: 9y 6m 7d Posted 06/01/16 09:03 AM Share Posted 06/01/16 09:03 AM Hi AllGot my F6 two weeks ago. One thing which annoys the crap out of me, is the dash lights coming on by the sensor. Is there a way to have these come on when you put the head lights on? Done a search and can't find any answers.. Why won't Ford let me put my lights on when I want to!!Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91577-f6-dash-lights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turn my headlights on manually but the illuminated dash lights only come on when its dark outside. So when its overcast they won't come on inside but I can barely see the dash which is annoying. I was hoping there was a way to for the illuminated dash to turn on when I turn on my headlights?

Perhaps there's a fault somewhere. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91577-f6-dash-lights/#findComment-1576165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not come on even if you manually turn on the lights.What the actual fark heyChange your auto light settings to on early off late and can also force them on at dusk which is when its a pain by covering the light sensor until they come on. Will usually stay on if its dim enough. Still pretty annoying though.In my ST they are on always, even if the lights are off. Much better..

Was it ever addressed in Mk2 or the FG-X line? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91577-f6-dash-lights/#findComment-1576289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
