I own a 2015 Ford Escape SE, 4WD, 1.6. It has the autolamp feature and I'm wondering if there's a way to make the autolamps turn on sooner?
As it's getting darker? I turn mine on and while I'm driving, other vehicles I see, their headlights are already on but mine don't on until it's almost dark. I'm almost certain these other vehicles are using the autolamp feature on their vehicles also.
Read the owners manual. Your car should have a day/night sensor amplifier that can be adjusted early or late to turn on the autolamp.
There should be a headlight switch on the dashboard or a stalk with positions like "Auto", "Off", "Parking", and "Headlights On". Use it to override the autolamps feature and turn the headlights on whenever you want or need them. Alternatively there should be a plastic nipple on the top of the dashboard under the windshield that houses the light sensor for the autolamps. If you put a piece of black electrical tape over that sensor, it will think you are driving in dim light and put the headlights on automatically unless the direct sun is blazing onto it. Easy!
The relays in your light control module may be going bad. Ford has had a real problem with this for years.
Hi sorry to say this is part of the computer programming in the car.
No. Its not adjustable.
- Heater isn't hot enough in my car, is there a way to make the heater better? I drive a 1998 Ford Taurus Wagon, the heater on it is alright but when it's 10 degrees outside it kinda sucks. Is there an actual way to make your heater hotter?
- 2015 Ford Fusion S, 2015 Chrysler 200 LX or 2015 Kia Optima LX? All pretty similarly priced. F and C have 3 year b - b and 5 year power warranty while the K has 5 year 100k everything.
- Is there any other way I can turn up the volume up on my car? Hi. I have a ford fiesta LX 2003, and the volume button on my car is broken is there any other way I could turn up the volume with out using that button.
- I own a 2015 Ford Escape with 30,000 miles and runs good. My prior vehicle had over 150,000 miles and I used Gumout Regane high mileage fuel? System cleaner. I still have a bottle of the Gumout and wondering if I used it in the Escape, would the Gumout do any harm to it? I suppose I could wait until I get 75,000 miles on it before using but I'm a 3000-4000 miles a year driver and the Gumout would go bad before using it.
