2020 ford expedition. I had the vehicle at the dealer for transmission service. When i got the vehicle back, the headlights stay on for about 2 or 3 or 4 minutes after vehicle has been turned off and locked. it has always been set for auto on headlights. why is this. original owner. it happened after i had transmission service at the dealer. any ideas? I cant find anything in settings. When i used to get out of the vehicle and lock it, the headlights turned off after 10 seconds or so. Thanks!

Headlamp Exit Delay

I was trying to figure out how to get my headlights to stay on for a period of time after I exit the vehicle to allow me to unlock an exterior door on my house near where I park. Many vehicles I've owned in the past allowed you to set a delay timer that would keep the headlights on...

Thank you so much. I did search but didn't find that thread.

>>> Navigate to Settings, Advanced settings,Vehicle,Lighting, Autolamp delay, Then select Off, 10, 20 or 120 seconds.

Thanks again. Hope you have a great day.

My '11 EL has this feature, as does my wife's '17 Acadia (both in the settings menus), and it is great, since we usually arrive home after dark sometimes
