Description of the problem	The dash lights are auto turn on/off, there is no manual control. This works great in total darkness, since the lights are on and you can see the numbers. In the daytime, when driving through trees and canyons the dash lights are off, you can not turn them on with the headlight switch or any other manual means. The reason i believe this is a safety issue is that you can not see how fast you are going, or any of your gauges. Monitoring your speed is a main feature when you drive, and i doubt that my sheriff will excuse me for speeding because i cannot see how fast i am driving. From a safety standpoint going too fast into a curve can cause you to roll the vehicle, and i cannot see my dash panel since i drive through the forest and canyons everyday when i leave my house. There is a light sensor on the dash board, that if you put a rag over it, the dash panel will light up. It seems insane to have to put a towel on the dash of a $45,000 vehicle and over ride the computer. The ford dealership has checked it out 4 times under warranty and they say that it is working as the truck was built to be. The engineers they have discussed this with say it is the way it is supposed to be. For the money and the safety, i want to be able to turn on these lights. Not all trim levels of this vehicle have this issue, but that doesn't mean that i should be held hostage by a computer. Thanks. 2013 is not the only affected year for the f250 xlt trim updated 10/21/15*bf
