what if it’s on AUTO and headlights were off and you flash high beam, does low beam still turns on with it ?

anyone experiencing that?
The sensor cannot be "weak"...that is simply not how they are made...it is either activated or not. Now, if it's early morning and partly cloudy, I have seen mine turn off and on a few times before settling down.
Are you also referencing the automatic high beam operation in any way? Does your truck have this feature?

No problem. Pretty well all Fords have been that way for years.

no I have the auto high beam turned off and it does operate when it’s on properly but I was talking about the low beam turning on on auto feature like when it gets darker. But we got it figured out thank you
