Headlight issue… recall coming?

[broncocoy]

I have my Bronco in for its first oil change/tire rotation this week. Beyond that I have them looking at my hard top (they confirmed I will be getting a new one that will arrive on friday), and my headlights. My headlights have a mind of their own and turn them selves on and off at their leisure. Could be 2 am and I look out to see headlights on etc. doesn’t matter if I leave the selector switch in OFF or AUTO (I have documented this in a series of videos months ago).

My dealer called and stated this was a known problem to ford and in talking with their service counter parts at Ford they are working on a new selector switch design and will issue a recall in the “future”.
I have not been on the forms in awhile, do we know anything else?

Headlight issue fix is still pending as far as I know...

They know.

I seems to happen in spurts for me. I won't hear the "dings" when I turn it off for a while and not get anyone telling me my lights are on. Then it will shift and it will start turning on randomly for a week or two.

I just started telling people the lights turn on when it detects a threat like Teslas.

Only happens when I hit switch with my knee and it turns past last option, but dings at me until I correct it.

Had the wife's BMW lights on by themselves but I had parked, shut off but forgot I shut off and hit start/stop button again. It stayed in accessory mode for like 2 hours until I started and then stopped engine

I have a two door… probs don’t need it if you have a two door as it’s the only way it comes.

My Bronco Sport headlights did what they wanted, when they wanted, Bronco has been fine so far.

Sounds like the problem I'm having with my '77... Got... to.... Find... That... bad.... ground....

Interesting seeing this. I also have this same issue on my Black Diamond. Just today I came out of work at lunch, hit my remote unlock and the headlight came on with the parking lights. Later this evening I walked into the garage and there it sat with the headlights on (and my remotes were in the upstairs desk drawer). I've had this stuff happening for a while but it seems to be more frequent lately.

If it's the selector switch at fault... is this happening to both types of switches (with and without factory fogs)?

Yeah Ford had stated their target date for a re-designed switch was about now.

But when know how that goes.
