What trim/package do you have? Any chance you have the base model Active? Because (at least on the 2026), they are not equipped on that trim.

I don't think the lights are supposed to work when they are folded. No reason for them to come on. Once they swing out, is when the lights will come on.
Why do you need them to light up while folded ?

I don’t want to light when folded. Which is why I want to disable the auto fold. The owner’s manual tells you how to disable on the settings menu, but the disable option doesn’t show in my system. That is also why I am trying to enable approach lights

You may have to reset the sync system. Video's on u tube can show you how.
Or if all else fails, forscan knows all.

I have the same problem, I took it back to the dealer and the salesman told me some models don't have the option to disable. I disagree. I live in oregon and park outside it rains and freezes often in the winter. They will freeze shut then get damaged trying to open frozen.
So after a day and a half at the dealership this is what I learned. The folding mirrors are a software issue that Ford is aware of and they are supposedly working on a solution. The spligate proximity opening is another software issue that they are working on. Supposedly my King Ranch does not have the approach lighting which I believe it does. Ford pushed out a product that is half baked. Hopefully the solutions will be pushed out in software updates in the 1st quarter as I was told
If it’s like the issues I’m having with my 2024 Expedition with 8000 miles - get used to the BS coming from Ford. My issue was supposed to be fixed with an “over the air” (OTA) push in Dec 2024, Jan 2025, July 2025, Oct 2025 and now (nothing has been repaired) we are looking at Mar of 2026. I spoke to a buffoon with Ford (not so much) Customer Service and was told…wait for it - - “you need to get a second opinion”, I kid you not this customer service “adviser” actually told me to get a second opinion. I calmly asked her if I needed to take my Expo to a brain surgeon, or should she follow her own advice and see a brain surgeon.
No, I’m not impressed with FoMoCo but based on my research, GM and Chrysler are no better.
Good luck with your issue my friend. Also, check into your states Lemon Law.

This may be due to the software in the driver door module (ddm) and passenger door module (pdm). Power folding mirror operation from the physical buttons are not affected by this condition. Inform customers that engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in q4 2026. Replacement or reprogramming of the accessory protocol interface module (apim), ddm, or pdm will not resolve this condition. Monitor professional technician system (pts) for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
