Not long after getting my 2005 new, I discovered that the dash lights are on (in white) at night even if the headlights are not. I discovered that after driving about a mile at night with no headlights. I was in town and there were many street lights.
Recently, I was at a rest area on a major highway at night. Lots of light in the parking light. My dash lights were on when I pulled out. But as I pulled into traffic I quickly realized my headlights were not on.
Anyone else have such a problem? Why would Ford design the dash lights to come on when the headlights are not on??
Also, how many of you like the way your headlights dim. It has taken some real getting used to and I still don't like it. It's not push and they are bright and pull they are dim. It's pull and they are bright and pull and they are dim.
My wife has a new 2007 Mariner and it's the traditional push, pull. I like that much better.
And why I am gripping. Why do some Ford vehicles have wipers that turn on by pushing up and others turn on while pulling down. Wouldn't consistiency among Ford models be a nice thing since some of us do have more than one vehicle?
