I wish you the best of luck.

Also, you seem to want to get your keypad working. How many times will you use that? You have a fob and key to get into the truck.

Sorry Masterblaster1, I've been at this so long, I just assumed Toddman34 was addressing me, when he referred to "OP". ?? Maybe not.
I use my Keypad a minimum of 5 x a week! Auto lamp, never! Would rather have something useful, such as a heated steering wheel, or tpms that not only says tire low on air but which ***ing one!

You must live in the city! I don't even lock my truck that many times in a week. The last truck I had, had a keypad and I never used it once. ... took the number out of my wallet and gave it to the dealer, when I traded. "Different strokes, for different folks".

Nope, don't live in the city! Wrong again... I trust no one... I lock everything of value at all times.

If I had a truck with auto lamps, which worked, I'd be sure to lock it!

I got my auto headlight sensor & switch today, so although I'm warned they won't function on post 2011s I tried them anyway. Yup, lights are on all the time in auto mode. I was going to just leave them installed, but I noticed that the auto-headlight switch (9L3Z11654CA) doesn't have a fog light function. My STX has fogs, so I put the OEM stuff back in. Is there an auto-headlight switch with the fog light option?

I've finally got an appointment for Thursday, to try to use my research, to get the auto lamps activated. Even though, I'm not totally sure, that it will work, I'll post the out come.

It's a shame, that guys are buying the parts, only to find, that they can't make them work. When in reality, since the wires and plugs are there, it should work ... except for some reason Ford came up with, to not tell anyone, how to turn them on. ??

Actually, I think, they have 4 switch versions: regular, +auto lamps, +auto lamps with fog and + just fog.

Of course there is... My 12' XLT has one!
