I searched but all I could find were topics on the flash when you lock the doors....

I have some how managed to to disable the function for the headlights to come on when you unlock the doors.... Can anyone tell me how to get it back? It's nice to have the extra light at night in the woods hunting or a the boat ramp.

 

Have you looked at the manual? The one in the glove box?

 

Maybe your auto on has to be ingaged on the headlight switch.

 

My switch always stays in the auto on position. Bought the truck used. Maybe mine didnt come w/ a manual (the one in the glove box).

 

Not sure, take a look.

 

Ok I was being facetious... I'll spell it out. Dont have one, if I did Id have looked there first.. lol

but thanks for trying.

 

My headlights have never come on when unlocking the doors... just the interior lights and cargo lights...

 

Ditto.

 

hmm.. weird. Pretty sure mine did when I bought the truck. Im pretty sure my 97 did as well.

 

If your light switch has the auto position, does the lights work ok in the auto position,otherwise?

 

Yes they come on at night, go off in the day.

 

Im pretty sure non of the 97-03 trucks headlights come on when unlocking the doors... I know mine don't, just the interior and dome lights as mentioned.

 

A look into the 03 user manuel does not say anything about the headlights coming on with key entry.
It only goes into the actions when the switch is in auto position.
The headlights will delay going off for a set amount of time after the ignition switch is turned off..

 

OH well. Guess I'm going crazy the older I get. Time to hook back up my LED courtesy lights underneath then.

 

My headlights dont come on that way either..
