Head lighs flashing on and off, Ign off.

My daughters 2000 Ford F150 truck headlights go on and off with Ign. off. sometimes after sitting all day, and seams most times at night. You can hear clicking behind dash at radio. Some one said to disconnect bat. ground for a while and re-connect. Did not work. any one have this problem and have any way which it can be repaired. Thanks

    Pardon my lack of attention.

    All credit to you, of course.


    Err...you feeling ok? Had nothing to do with your post. Just wondering if this thread was started over again or if I lost a post since it was started. All that I was wondering.

    Tell her to get the junk off the dash that covers the light sensor.

    Just wondering if you have an auto-on system for your lights. Could be a faulty sensor??

    My father had this happen on a mid 90's Ford. Turns out a previous owner had an alarm installed, but cut the siren wire and mostly disabled it. Occasionally it would get triggered somehow, and flash the lights. I ended up pulling the rest of the alarm out and trashing it. Problem solved.
