2002 Haunted Headlights

[glenncal1]

On my 2002 ST the headlights have started to turn on by themselves even with the switch in the off position. Turning the switch on then off again does not remedy the situation. Driving down the road the lights just turn on and off again randomly with no driver input. Bad switch in the dash? Any other ideas of the problem. Thanks.

Bad switch would be my first guess. My dad's '73 F250 had a bad switch and the lights would go off and on while driving, but never turned on with the switch off that I know of.

If you have the auto head lights switch on the mirror, that is most likely the culprit. If you unclip the harness wire on the back of the mirror, it will divorce the auto switch and the manual head light switch will act as normal.

Thanks for the help. I think the mirror switch is probably the culprit. Will test today.

Unplugged the mirror and the problem seems fixed. Thanks again.
