Has anyone had their Day - Night light sensor on the dash or associated components replaced. If so what was actually done and what was the symptoms of the problem? :confused:

Replacement is fairly easy. What issues are you having?

My sensor seems to have stopped working. It stays on night all of the time so that my screen displays are always dim unless I turn off the auto headlights.

I'd be curious how the top cover gets removed. I feel that the cover is not dark enough, I seem to be the last vehicle on the road with it's headlights on in dusk conditions. I'm thinking that maybe wrapping it with some tint film might do the job.

Never mind, I found this. Looks like the sensor is a 1-piece assembly.

Sadly for a repair like that you'll probably have to head back to the dealership. Hopefully you're still under warranty.

I should be, the truck is 3 weeks old, with 400 miles on it.

Keep us posted on the repair! Hopefully it's something simple and easily resolved.

It will be a while, the Ford dealer told me it will be the 14th of July before I can get a spot in line. I knew that would be the case, so I hoped that there was an easy fix. No such luck. :sadface:

When this dimming occurs, are the headlights/tailights coming on in the daytime? I'm assuming they do, but I don't think you've mentioned it.

It doesn't matter what mode your in its dark, the only way to get a bright screen is turn headlamp switch to O, its dark in Auto, Day and night, turn off headlamp to O and screen gets brighter in all modes.
