richardc1983 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hey all As per title my auto main headlights are on all the time even in full sunshine. Only had the car from 6th November and noticed sometimes the auto wipers don't always respond quick enough either. Clearly there is a fault, is it best to go back to the dealer?

iantt Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Get the ford dealer to switch the rain sensing off then if you want normal intermittant, sure it could be done in configuration settings on ids, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT_1989 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I had this problem with mine and ford diagnosed it as a loose contact on sensor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I find this "progress" a load of bull. I have my auto wipers permanently off (they're naff), never use the auto lights (what's the point, I know when it's dark), powerfold mirrors are only used when "I" decide, auto stop/start always off, etc. Steering wheel volume controls erratic so that the fault would never be found by greasemonkeys. Still love my 3 pot 125 tho. Just waiting for all the sensors to quit, engine, doors, seats etc. Auto dimming rear view mirror is a PITA, I wanna see when plod is following me. Otherwise, my Tit is great :D O yea, the non-existant ashtray and !Removed! lighter, there's progress, and the window wind effect where ash is strewn all over the rear seats etc. Terrific. Still, it's only 2015. Edit: LOL they actually removed the word f a g. Edit 2: The DAB radio works reasonable well, the voice control doesn't understand "Play Genesis 1983 afterglow" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Get the ford dealer to switch the rain sensing off then if you want normal intermittant, sure it could be done in configuration settings on ids, Can this be done then. So then the setting on stick would just work as normal inta control. The auto light i just leave on Auto as even if a bit light and there on still only like having DRL's on. Just not LED so not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportvan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 You may have had a replacement screen and the sensor got damaged. Don't have any issues with auto lights/wipers in the van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardc1983 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Its booked in for Tuesday next week at the car people where I got it from. I actually want all these features as have driven a fiesta before when I learned to drive and the wipers and lights worked well. For example this morning the lights were on full which was expected as it was quite dark but during the day and sunny they stay on. It was also raining this morning and even though sensitivity is set to max they still were not coming on enough and ended up having to put to manual. Very annoying but as soon as I pulled up behind another car where there was its brake lights reflecting on my windscreen the wipers begun to go mad. There are also the following software updates showing for my car on http://www.etis.ford.com/ -Front Control/Display Interface Module (FCDIM)-Software Updates - Powertrain Control Module -Software Updates - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Do you think they need applying as I have massive problems with bluetooth and the radio also resetting and turning on when off etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 As far as i'm aware only a Ford dealer can apply updates & they are no doubt chargeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardc1983 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Ive rang them up and told them there are 3 updates and as I am travelling from Leeds and taking time out of work to leave the car with them unpaid then I require these updates applying to the car. They said they are booking the car into ford which is on the same estate as them to get the updates done. What improvements and what are the actual updates for?

jace1969 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 yes appears they have changed it now How do you see if your car needs updates because it has all changed. You can put Reg in now to get info but cant see any place where the updates would be. Also do you need an account or just put Reg/VIN.
