Just wondering if anyone knows why the headlights are on and staying on while driving (ie. can't turn them off) ?I read something about a safety pack on fleet cars...but not sure if it's true and REALLY want to know how to turn them off.Thankyou.

I checked the fuses and there is a strange wire tee'd into another in there so "I think" that wire just needs to be disconnected.I never knew some fleet cars were optioned like this til now o.O Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86531-lights-stay-on-while-drivingg6e-turbo/#findComment-1433870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 12y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 16/10/13 12:40 PM Share Posted 16/10/13 12:40 PM ^^^ which is exactly what the Ford dealer did for me when I bought mine as it was a Telstra owned car.........love that telstra chip Low Beam was on when I test drove it and the sales guy said it will be changed when I pick the car up so if you bought it from a Ford dealer, take it back and politely ask for them to change it for you.
