I have a 98 xlt ranger and was wondering if you leave the lights on, is there a time limit they stay on, or do they stay on until the battery is dead? I know there is a bell to remind you the lights are on.

 

It sux but they'll stay on till your batterys drained

 

what about the new 04+ models?

 

i think all rangers are like that, could possibly wire one in?

 

it would most likely be a relay of sorts... I'd swear tho that I read on mine after 45 mins. it'll cut the lights...

 

On my 04 it doesn't. I've left them on for 3 hours at one time then it cranked right up.

 

If you grab the "auto-dim" mirror out of an Explorer, it usually includes the "auto-headlight" feature as well. There's a write-up floating around on how to wire it up, I think it's in the "submissions" area for tech articles...

 

That 45 minute timer we have is on the GEM module. It will only shut off the interior light.

 

Isn't the interior dome light on a timer of 10 minutes?? Because mine is.
