I wish my 05 had a battery saver and automatic turn off of the headlights like the other Ford products. I have walked away with the lights on only to return later to see the lights did not turn off.

That little "ding, ding, ding when you get open the door with the keys in your hand...it's the O5 saying "hey dude, you've left my lights on and Ford was too cheap to install and auto off device."

The 2005 Mustang DOES have a battery saver feature, though it does not control headlamp circuit. It controls the interior lights. If you leave a door or the trunk open, or leave a map light on it will kill power to the curcuit within 15-30 minutes.

I hate those automatic kill switches...... is there something wrong with remembering to turn off your lights? It's just what you do when you get out of the car..... and if you need to leave them on for whatever.... you can do that too.

I am not sure if this is a battery saving technicque, but my fogs lights won't turn on if the engine is not running. I was outside last night showing the neighbor and turned the lights on. He said the figs did not come on. After I turned the enigne on, the fogs came on.

How do you turn the headlights on, is it still a pull/push **** on the left side of the dash?

It rotates clockwise to turn on lights and pulls out for the fogs.

Just for fun, Kluski. I get more amused by typos that I probably should!
Yeh, my figs never come on anymore

I was reading this while on the phone with my wife and she got a good laugh about it too.
