Ghost Headlights - Can Forscan help?

[Burronco]

Hey ya'll,

Do any of you know if ghost headlights can be "fixed" with some Forscan exorcism?

Did my best to find a thread here on this topic. Please share a link if you know of one.

These ghost headlights are annoying.. Although.. I love that they scare my neighbour haha

FORScan cannot fix it, but the dealer needs to replace the light switch and the exorcism is complete.

You need to have the headlight switch assembly replaced. Mine did this about 3-4 times a month, I had to go to a different dealership to get the part replaced under warranty due to my dealership saying they could not replicate the problem. Here are the bulletins from ford to take to dealership

SSM 50842 - 2021-2022 Bronco - Headlamps Turn On By Themselves When Vehicle Is Off - DTC B1533

Some 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a condition of intermittent headlamp operation while the vehicle is OFF and have diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1533stored in the body control module (BCM). This may be due to the internal logic within the headlamp switch. Switch and/or module replacement will not resolve this condition. Headlamp operation is not affected while the vehicle is ON. A new headlamp switch is currently under development to correct this condition. Let the customer know they can continue to drive the vehicle and schedule a follow-up appointment in October 2022, when parts are expected to become available. Follow up with the customer to confirm the appointment once OASIS is updated with the repair information.
