Headlights coming on automatically

[badass mm]

Hey guys on my 03 Marauder I've noticed that the headlights come on automatically without having the switch on I don't think that's normal is there a problem

Should we assume your not driving with your wipers on?

Is this only occurring at night or when raining? Or at random times during the day regardless of weather or daylight conditions?

Well I noticed it this morning and it was raining do they automatically come on when you turn your windshield wipers on

Yes. After a few seconds delay.

My 2003 300a did. I don't drive in the rain much... I honestly can't remember if my 04s do. It's been very dry here this year

Yes, the feature was introduced in the Panthers in 2003.

The headlamps will also turn on when the windshield wipers are activated, after a 10–20 second delay.

2. With the ignition in run or start, wipers turned on and the headlamp
switch in the autolamp position.

But alas, once the LCM upgrade takes place, you LOSE said feature.

Thanks Ford.
