Ba Falcon Lights-on Option

[shockwave]

Anyone know how to disable the BA Falcon "lights-on" feature? Its darn annoying having your headlights on full during the day.

I'm considering buying a used BA for my folks and many ex-fleet ones have this enabled which they don't like.

Ideas / tips?

I like the feature for its safety value and ordered it. To me, the only downside is that the headlight globes will blow sooner.

Anyway, I think it involves some extra hardware attached to the under-dash fuse box.....not just a software edit. When my bluetooth kit was being installed, I found the extra wiring etc and assumed it was the "lights-on" kit. So, I expect the hardware can be removed from the fusebox (and potentially onsold?)

PS There's often confusion between this feature (that keeps the headlights on whenever the ignition is on) and the one that turns the headlights on automatically when it gets dark. I don't know much about the latter one except that people seem to get them mixed up....not hard to see why.

There's quite a bit in it for something so simple.

Thanks mate! I owe you a beer!

I think you will find that if you pull the fuse out of the lights on feture it will disable it, without affecting the normal headlight operation

My car was fitted with the lights on feature and looking at the fuse panel there doesn't seem to be a fuse for it there. Skimming over the ford instructions posted by BATRB-6, I think the fuse may be part of the loom installed behind/above the panel? Is there a fuse hidden in that extra loom or do is the only solution to follow those instructions (backwards of course) to remove the feature?

Don't really want to pull it all out seeing as it has a few wires crimped onto the main loom, I'm too much of a hack

My current solution to having the feature is to just drive around with the parkers on during the day. It drove me nuts having 2-3 people a day yelling out "your light's are on"
