drbabbers Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 All, Just got my lovely new S-Max, but the headlights are staying on when the switch is in the Off position. If I switch to sidelights or headlamps they both work fine, just an issue when in the 'Off' position. Any ideas on how I can correct this? Will it involve going to a Ford dealer or is this something I can do myself? Thanks Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Is that staying on permanently or staying on then going off later, the delay can be altered in settings I've got mine set to no delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Are you sure it isn't just DRL's? if so they are meant to be on with headlights off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let you know.. I just thought it wasn't right that the headlight came on straight away when the dial is set to 'Off'. I will also check for the delay, where is that setting please? Also just to note on this Zetec we don't have a position for Auto... I have 3 positions - Off, Sidelights, Headlights.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is the headlights. When the dial is set to 'Off' the headlights are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbabbers Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just left car running for more than 5 mins and the headlights remain on. Checked the settings and no options around delay or anything. I can’t see any option to change this. Visit to Ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurac Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Are they not the daytime running lights? My headlights are on all the time in my fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
