Auto headlights staying on ?
I have noticed the last couple days that my headlights are turning on, and staying on when I fire up my truck and the switch is on auto. Any thoughts?

Anything on the top of the dash when this happens ?

The small grill on the oval dash top area is where the light sensor is on the '03 and older MY F150s.

If this is blocked, that could be 1 cause for the lights turning on.

The sensor is a small bubble on the dash near the windshield, clean it off.
