Wiper Activated Headlamps

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If equipped with automatic headlamps, the SCCM sends a message to the BCM over the HS-CAN to illuminate the exterior lamps within 10 seconds of the windshield wipers being activated by the multifunction switch when the headlamp control switch is in the AUTOLAMP position. The BCM continues to illuminate the exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds after the windshield wipers have been turned off.
