[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 789059, member: 52972"] The early model had the sensors built into the back of the rearview mirror. I had a 2003 Sport Trac that had the same problem. The lights would not come on until it too dark. To solve the problem I taped a small square of dark limo-tint film over the sensor with scotch tape and it worked fine for the 5 years I owned the truck. Do not put 2 layers of window tint over the sensor if you have the electronic dimming rearview mirror (which I think was part of that same package) because the auto-dimming mirror uses the front and rear sensors to determine when it's night time and when headlights from behind you are being detected in the mirror. Two layers of will cause your mirror to dim during the daylight. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
