anyone had a problem with a frod f150 and the headlights staying on after the remote starter has shut off?

sometimes the lights shut off after 10 mins and sometimes they dont shut off at all

any help would be great

oh i am using a viper 4103 and ads-tb if that helps at all

thanks

Where did you hook up the parking light output from the remote starter to? Did you use the (+) or the (-) ?

i did the relay for neg parking light that interupts the ground on the light switch

but i dont have the parking lights hooked up at all right now

i did the rap shut down with a pulse from the rearm wire from the starter with a relay as well

i left the vechile for my customer and it was fine after i did the relay but he says the headlights aren't shutting off

i have done lots of these trucks and never had any problems till now

thanks

I did a 2010 F150 XLT a while ago. No Auto Headlights or Factory Alarm. Used a (+) Parking Light output from the remote starter to the SJB, Gray 13 Pin Plug ( Plug E ), Violet/White wire at Pin 6. The Plug is second from top on right side of SJB.

Soldering is fun!

They are easy to repair, I hope you did not have to purchase one.

Take the assembly apart and look for a tiny burnt trace on the board. Once you find it, take a tiny piece of wire, an old IDE hard drive ribbon cable is a great candidate. Strip the insulation off of a piece of it a few inches longer than you need, Twist the wires really tight and tin them with some solder. Solder the end of the wire to the trace, lay the wire across to the other end of the trace and solder it to that piece. Cut the excess wire and call it a day.

I have repaired one of these for every stereo shop in town. The primary cause of this has been applying the wrong polarity.
