Wiper Activated Exterior Lamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the headlamp switch is set to AUTO, the BCM turns the exterior lamps on within 10 seconds of the windshield wipers being activated by the wiper/washer switch. Approximately 60 seconds after the windshield wipers turn off, the BCM turns the exterior lamps off.
If the rain sensitive wipers are activated by moisture detected on the windshield when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the BCM turns the exterior lamps on after a time delay. Shortly after the rain sensitive wipers are deactivated (moisture no longer detected on the windshield), the BCM turns the exterior lamps off after a time delay.
