- 04 Ranger FX4 Level II
Hello everyone first post here from a long time lurker.
I've got an 04 Ranger FX4 Level II that I've had for about 11 years, and I've retrofitted it with the auto dim, auto headlamp mirror from a 98-01ish Explorer. The trouble is, the auto headlamps don't come on until the level of outside darkness is beyond the time for headlights.
I've noticed that there is a hole on the bottom these mirrors that a paperclip can be inserted in, and a friend has told me that there is a sequence of pushing in on the paperclip (there is a switch in there, the headlights will start blinking), turning autolamps from off to on, turning the key on and watching the LED on the mirror. All this being done with the vehicle outside when the lighting is at the desired level for the headlights to come on; this is the calibration point. Long story short, I cant figure out the sequence to recalibrate. Anyone know the trick?
