2008 F-150 My headlights wont turn off in the auto position, I have to turn them off manualy

The headlight switch turned to the left one position past Auto, that's the fog light position. Without Auto headlights it's the position all the way to the left.

This is the delay feature of your vehicle.
Your car's Auto Headlight functionality offers both convenience and safety. The exit delay programmed in means that the lights will stay on after you turn off the engine for a set period of time. You can change how long they stay on to fit your needs. Here's how to do that:

1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the Auto position.
2. Make sure the key is set to OFF.
3. Turn the headlight switch off.
4. Turn the switch back to ON, then OFF again.
5. Turn the switch back to the Auto position.
6. Make sure the lights come on.
7. Wait for the amount of time you want the headlights to stay on, then turn the switch back to OFF once more.
8. The headlight delay should now be programmed.

Tips

• The maximum delay you can set is three minutes.
• You can set the system to have no delay by not waiting to turn the switch back to OFF the final time.

Pretty much believe the switch is faulty.

I don't know if this info will help? Can you operate the headlamps in the manual position, instead of auto position?
Do you want the wiring diagram?

You need to manualy put it to the down position there should be a small knob or small gear maybe a screw. It should be right next to or on top of the headlight ass..Turn the car off and headlights off then put the one thats up down.

U need new bulbs

THE AUTOMATIC LIGHT SENSOR COULD BE FAULTY.

If you open the hood and look at the end of the headlight motor there is a knob that you can turn by hand to manualy open the headlight

is the switch in the on position instead of the auto position?
