Running lights not turning on? Tried everything

[BrrL357]

So I’m having an issue getting my running lights to turn on? Any ideas? I’ve tried all the settings and can’t seem to get them on. Any ideas?

I now see you circled the 3 front center clearance lights in your photo, those are not part of the daytime running lights. I have found they only illuminate with parking or headlights on.

I’ve tried everything now. They definitely won’t turn in with anything I’m trying. I’m wondering if they aren’t wired? Or are missing something? Seems odd. My trx had no rear door led lights from the factory was wired for it though so you never know.

Do you know if they were working when you picked it up from the dealership?

They should illuminate when you lock/unlock the vehicle. If not, then there's definitely an issue...

Quick update on the running lights. I took the Braptor in for service as I tried everything to get the three lights on the hood to work. Turns out that the factory literally forgot to plug the wiring harnesses together for those lights. It’s all fixed now but jeez come on ford.

In the big picture, glad it was simple fix!!!

Cool, I've wondered what the status was, good to hear it was a plug & play fix.

Yeah I’m glad as well. I just love this thing more and more the more I drive it. I have had a bunch of very nice cars and trucks and this thing is just so cool. It drives at 80mph on the freeway better then almost every car I have ever owned. Pretty amazing actually what Ford has come up with here. Planted is the word I would use to describe the truck on the freeway. Different vehicles obviously but my 2 TRX,m5c, and x5mc drive no where near as straight with wind, road grooves, drainage, etc on the road. Thinking it might be the big tires? Not sure. Very cool though and very happy now that my lights are fixed!

Had the exact same issue. Hard to wrap my head around how a vehicle leaves the Ford plant "inspection" without them noticing all the lights aren't working. That part is mind blowing.

Linking to @Obiwan 's thread below with the same issue that includes resolution photo's of disconnected wiring harness.

No functioning grill marker lights.

I just realized I don't actually have functional front grill marker lights. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure how I didn't realize this until now being I have had it a couple weeks but the grill center marker lights do not function at all. I am actually a bit surprised it was...

on my 2024 the three center bronco lights don't come on when the headlights are in auto mode. They do come on if I switch the headlights to "on" position". Is this normal I can't find a setting anywhere that speaks to this.

Welcome to BroncoRaptor.com!

Those 3 lights in the grill are a DOT requirement for vehicles over 80" wide called clearance lights along with the mirror lights and the 3 red lights in the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp, CHMSL, above the spare tire. When your headlights or parking lights are in the On position these clearance lights will light up. The clearance lights will also light up when the headlights are in the auto mode provided it's dark enough outside just like other vehicles with auto on headlights.

Had the same experience driving it across the country on I70. Drives like a big car! Hell, my wife was driving at one point didn’t know she was doing almost 90. Now that’s stability.
