Can anyone tell me where the sensor is for the automatic headlight function? I leave my switch set to "auto" all the time and was wondering if there is a way to maybe change the sensitivity a bit to get the lights to come on just a bit earlier. I'm so used to leaving it in auto, I'm afraid if I hop outta the truck with the lights "on", I'll forget and have a dead battery later on. It would be nice to have them come on for drizzly foggy days.....Is the senso up on the dash, and is there a way to adjust it?

 

Center of the dash near the windshield.

 

What he said.

 

Yep. I throw a ball cap up there to cover the sensor so I have full time lights.

 

And with proper selection of the team, you can adjust the sensitivity over the full range.

 

I believe if your wipers are on in auto the lights will come on. Your headlights may be on but not your dash lights.

Do this OP...leave in auto, and pull the switch out for the fogs. Turn on the wipers...after 3 seconds your lights will turn on. You will know because the fog light indicator on the switch will be on.

 

Thanks guys!

 

It would be nice to adjust the sensitivity. I was able to do that on a previous vehicle. However,I leave mine in the auto position all the time and it seems the lights are on more times than I know it like on cloudy days.

 

You guys and your auto wipers. My Grand Cherokee had them, but my FX4 doesn't. I miss them (for the most part).

I wish there was some other way to know if my lights are on. I have DRL, and sometimes the dash lights come on in a tunnel, but not the headlights. It seems that the fog light indicator is the only way, and that's only if you've set your fogs to turn on.
