Shouldn't this be covered under your factory warranty and any dealer fix it?

Seeing as how the previous owner had someone enable police mode, and I want to have it disabled... I do not think it would qualify as warranty.

yeah, even if it isnt covered under warranty, it got to be an hour max to have a dealer do it. Its been a long time since I was at a dealer, but for dumb things like this I would walk up to the drive and do it right then and there.

My experience so far has been... they tried doing it through the driver menu ( after I already explained it is not in there, then they said they would charge me $200 just to find the problem (and that did not include fixing it). The service adviser acted like I was an idiot when I mentioned the police mode setting.

From what I hear on F150 forums, the hardest part is finding someone willing and knowledgeable enough to take the 10 minutes to do it.

This only applies to 2011 and newer F150's. 2010 and older F150s can have the courtesy lights turned on/off by the dash dimmer switch.

Not meaning to poke fun at any techs, or the OP. I wonder how long it would take a dealer to fix it, if nothing was said about the police mode. GEM module, door switches get replaced?

And about 4 other things, no doubt. That would be funny, I'll admit.

This is the exact reason i want to find someone who knows what it is instead of dropping it off at a dealership.
