As for leaving the lights on...I can understand how it happened, 2 screaming kids, a pram in the boot...etc. No wonder she forgot. I was hoping this little jigger would be worth the $140 and would save a flat battery. Nah, that would be sensible. after all it is "intergrated to the ecectronics" so I'm sure it would be easy enough to do.Oh well $140.00 for a relay and a piece of wire...I could have done it myself for far less and probably had the dash lights come on too, and have a bypass switch so I could disable it if required :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3268-auto-lights-on/page/2/#findComment-24252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read it and there is nothing to indicate it is only on the Ghia's..or did I miss something?BTW. I'm damn sure that when I was first researching the car on the web, the auot lights on/off feature was available on the XR6T as a selected option on the price and configure form.

Even the passengers in my car notice it. I don't want to sound like I'm having a go at RichDave's wife, but I reckon it would be pretty hard to not hear it and turning the headlight switch to off doesn't take much.

The other option is to get some technical data on the current setup and see if I can mod it to suit my needs/wants.

Guest OXR-747 Guests Posted 26/05/03 04:13 AM Share Posted 26/05/03 04:13 AM I think the best car I had with headlights off was the VS commodore, when you turned the car off the headlights stayed on until you opened your door.So I guess it was door open headlights off!

Cam Member 397 Member For: 22y 3m 12d Location: Brisbane Posted 26/05/03 04:57 AM Share Posted 26/05/03 04:57 AM My old car had the best of all the above.1. Any lights left on (I.e. boot open, door ajar, rading light lest on, headlights..anything) would automatically turn off after 10 mins.2. If you pulled the high beam leaver as you are getting out then then the high beams came on and stay on for 30 seconds or so - enough time to open the hous door and go inside.
