Information Center daytime lighting adjustment

[JJW-ND]

Didn't the older Fords allow you to turn the interior light adjustment knob to make the information center brighter even when the running lights are on?

On the 2008 I have, I drive with the lights day and night. With the lights on, the informatoin center dims to a point it is almost unreadable. Turning the interior lights adjustment now only makes it dimmer.

Is there a way one could disconnect/severe the signal that tells the information sensor the lights are on?

I would like to see the information center but I do not want to have to keep the lights off in the daytime to see it.

Any options?

Your dealer can program the truck for the daytime running lights and this will fix your issue.
I've done this on two 08's

With the DRL set, if you still turn on the lights (running lights) would it still dim the information center?

No it does not dim.
The DTRL are automatic. You do not have to turn them on..Just start the truck.

I know this is not the correct forum, but I have an 04 without DRL and I too like to drive with the lights on and daytime the message center is dim enough to where its unreadable On my 04 Lariat is it possible to program the message center to stay brite

What all does the dealer do? Is this a module, like in the old days?
