you can’t turn them off manually?

[plain talk]

That’s a no brainer especially for an old vehicle like that. Just turn the lights on/off manually. That’s what I have always done. I don’t trust timers. You have done well my FRIEND to keep it running so long.

I had that same problem in my ‘96 Explorer and was finally able to trace it to the base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing. They were interacting in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fam. It wasn’t hard to fix once I understood the root cause.

Seriously, there are some great Ford sites out there. Come to FR for the humor and snark.

There should a slider on the rear view mirror that controls the amount of time it stays on. That what was on my 2003 Sport trac.

"Head lice" on a 1998 Ford Explorer??
How the heck did they get there!

Most cars have an auto/manual switch somewhere which lets you toggle between turning the lights off by hand and letting the timer take over when you turn off the engine - maybe the owner’s manual can help.....

Try the owner’s manual. There might be a way to disable it through a procedure.

I disabled the annoying “beep” when you lock the doors on my Oldsmobile minivan. It was a bit of bit of a rigmarole to remove a certain fuse, then use the window up/down buttons, or something. It worked! Seems kind of crazy but you have to remember they don’t have a keyboard.

There is an interesting TV show I get on early Saturday mornings on a Fox affiliated station. It is called POWERBLOCK.TV.

These guys are always modifying stuff & are interesting to watch. I am pretty sure they have a website. I would give them a try.

As for all the kudos you are getting over keeping a 1998 car running——I still drive a 1976 1 ton Dually 454 Chevy truck—hauling my horses. It has 347,000 ++ miles on it. I have had it for almost 31 years. My ‘daily driver’ is a 1979 Buick Station wagon with a 403 Olds engine. I have had it for over 35 years & it has over 211,000 miles on it.

Let me know if you get info from the POWERBLOCK TV guys.
