Geeza Dude Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just bought a used Sport Van. The auto light switch works, however when I turn it to "off" the lights stay on......Am I doing something wrong? Also, does this model come with locking wheel nut key as standard? Mine is missing. Are Hankook tyres provided as standard? It's done 8K miles so I don't think the tyres would've been changed yet.... Cheers, any help appreciated!

Geeza Dude Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I took the vehicle into my local Ford dealership, they said its fitted with daytime running lights. I can't find anything in the handbook about this; are they trying to fob me off & not fix a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 What model is it, the facelift or prefacelift? The prefacelift has daylight running lights, which use the high beam bulb as the DRL via a second filament in the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeza Dude Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks for your reply big Dave, how do I check whether it's a pre-facelift or not please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dah Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 DRL's are only the front lights? so back lights will not be on I think?just go to the back and have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeza Dude Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks Dah, I'll check. The issue I've got was just one of uncertainty really. I've checked Ford etis & can't see that they've been fitted as standard. The handbook doesn't mention daytime running lights so naturally I thought there was a fault with the switch or fuses etc. The dealership I bought it from was useless (Ford commercials, Dagenham) I've had another issue with them over supplying a locking wheel nut key that the salesman assured me was in the glovebox on handover; surprise! It wasn't there & now I've gotta wait for another to be made? Surely Ford must have spares available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be@st Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi, looking for a bit of help too on this subject. I too have just bought a used sportvan (pre face lift) and can't find a way to turn the lights off (nothing in the manual). I expected DRL but I wasn't expecting the dipped beam and the rear lights to be on all the time! It has a 4 pos switch, the OFF position all lights are on, side light position the dipped beam actually turns off, lights on positon all lights on and auto position all lights stay on all the time. I have checked and it is a single filament bulb in the projector lights (dipped). I thought there must be something wrong but appears I might not be alone. @David did you get anywhere with this?

Geeza Dude Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 be@st; I've spoken to Ford inverness & they've finally told me they're DRL & can't be switched off! Seems pointless having an off switch AND auto headlights but there you have it! Mine was a demonstrator & had some extras fitted...... Good luck & enjoy the van; I'm happy with mine!

be@st Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks for reply. Yea mines a ex demo too. It seems unbelievable to have a 4 position switch which 3 positions do exactly the same! Pleased with it so far :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
