Lights coming on when opening doors.

Postby thebarber » Sun May 02, 2021 8:54 am

I've asked this before but hoping someone has come up with the answer since.
Is there a way to stop the head and tail lights from coming on when opening doors?
My vans a camper now so it's annoying to me let alone others camping near.
I would think they'd have a way around this as there's more ford's being used for professional build campers now.
Cheers

Yep, someone with ids may have offered to do it for you if you’d answered. As it is, it looks like you either couldn’t be bothered to answer or you’d fixed the issue and not bothered to come and update your thread.

In the Mk7 it's a setting in BCM config, "home safe lighting" or something like that... which you can change using "module programming" function in IDS (or forscan but not tried myself)

There may be other members with IDS around your part of the country who may help if they knew where you are updating your profile info helps in these kind of matters also

There's no more info on the original post tbh.
I'd forgotten about the lights until I started camping again but now I know how to fix the issue I'll get it sorted.
Thanks again fellas

I tried "Police Dark Mode" nothing at all, I think works for Custom Transit, not Transit Van.
