Auto headlights

Is there a way to disconnect the auto headlight activation when putting truck in gear for 2010 limited? Be it drive or reverse, day or night when car goes in gear the headlights come on.

On my 2015 Expedition Limited with auto headlamps, the switch has four positions:

Auto
Parking lamps on (manual)
Head lamps on (manual)
Auto and exterior lamps shut off (manual)

Does you switch have similar positions? You could turn the lamps off manually, or turn on the headlamps when you feel they are needed.

Is the solar sensor on the top, middle of the dash covered or damaged?

I think the OP is talking about daytime running lights

No even with the light switch in the off position the head lights come on immediately when i put the vehicle in gear. I have to check for placement of the sensor.

On mine - turning the switch to off stops the headlamps from turning on, not matter what the ambient light is.

It sounds as though there is an electrical short in the switch?

look up daytime running lamps in your manual... they will come on as soon as you put the truck into any gear... you might notice that your marker/tail lights are not on... that is the indicator of daytime running lights

Forscan is your friend. There's probably a setting there to turn off DRL. I used it to turn on DRL in my 2015 Expy.
