Headlamps On With Wipers On Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On vehicles equipped with autolamps, there is a feature called the headlamps on with wipers on feature. If the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS ON position and the front wipers are on for more than 3 seconds (except during a mist wipe or while the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition), the exterior lamps are turned on. When the ignition switch is changed to the OFF or ACC position, the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, or the front wipers are off for more than 30 seconds, the exterior lamps are turned off.
For information or diagnostics regarding the headlamps on with wipers on feature, refer to WIPER ACTIVATED HEADLAMPS (IF EQUIPPED WITH AUTOLAMP SYSTEM) .
