No "Your lights are on" warning??

[A907Chick]

Twice today I got out of my Bronco with the lights on and I didn't get a warning honk or ding. Then first time I was dropping it off at the shop to get my AMP steps installed. They had me turn on my lights to make sure all lights were working. I turned it off, got out but didn't lock it. Later this evening I was driving with my running lights on and got home, got out and locked the car. Came out later and notice my lights were on.

Every other vehicle I have owned has giving me some kind of indication that I left my lights on. Is there a setting that might be turned off?

It should ding.

I don’t have my bronco yet, but in my wife’s car if the lights are set to auto on there is no chime or warning when you get out. They just turn off after a set amount of time. Hope that helps.

That is what I thought. My Sububan dings repeatedly if they are left on.

Thanks, both times I had them out of auto. I had to manually turn them on during the day so the shop could verify they worked.

seems the key here is...'no matter the setting, did the lights go off within 4-5 minutes?'

Some of us are having issues with phantom headlights. Some people reported getting error codes. Waiting for this to be a known issue so that my vehicle isn’t the one used for trouble shooting

Mine are set to automatic. When I’ve bumped the switch accidentally and turn them on, the truck chimes.

Yes both times. The second time had been over 30 mins.

I read about people accidently bumping their light switch. I wonder if it dings because the car is already off when they bump the switch?

I will go out today and do some testing. I didn't have time to mess with it last night.

Thanks! I understand that, waiting for a tech to chase a problem is time consuming.

Mine dings, though I keep mine on auto so it avoids that issue completely

Also more likely than not “can’t replicate issue” because it’s so random

They can never "replicate the issue" LOL.

Well I am sure what happened yesterday but today if I had the lights turned on or the running lights on, as soon as opened the door it dinged. I swear I did not hear any dinging the day before.
