[SuperSonic05]

I just Read this on MF written by NUKE, I will try it at lunch but I wanted to pass it along to all of you.


Perimeter lighting feature (if equipped)
The perimeter lighting feature illuminates the exterior of the vehicle in
order to provide better visibility to the user while he or she approaches and enters the vehicle.


The perimeter lighting feature activates the head lamps, park lamps and side marker lamps when: the user activates an unlock feature, using either the remote keyless transmitter or the keypad, or when the vehicle is unlocked using the driver’s door key lock cylinder.

The perimeter lighting feature will turn off if: the vehicle is locked using the remote entry transmitter, or the ignition is turned to the 3 (ON) position, or after 25 seconds of illumination.

Enabling/disabling the perimeter lighting feature
Your vehicle comes with the perimeter lighting feature enabled. You may enable/disable this feature by having your vehicle serviced by your authorized dealer.
You may also perform the following power door lock sequence to
enable/disable the perimeter lamps feature. All vehicle doors must be
closed before beginning the procedure. You must complete Steps 1–3
within 30 seconds, or the procedure will have to be repeated.
1. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position, then press the control
three times.
2. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF) position, then press the control
three times.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position; the horn will chirp to
indicate the driver configuration mode has been activated.
Activating or deactivating the perimeter lighting once in program mode is accomplished by: pressing the trim panel power door unlock control ( ) twice within
five seconds.



At this point, perimeter lighting will be activated if it was previously

deactivated, and deactivated if it was previously activated. Confirmation of perimeter lighting being activated is provided by a short horn chirp followed by a long horn sound; Confirmation of perimeter lighting being deactivated is provided by a short horn chirp only.
Exiting the program mode is accomplished by turning the ignition to any position other than the 3 (ON) position, or two minutes elapsing since the program mode was entered.

Now you can start your car instead of pushing it down the driveway when you sneak out of the house! :003:

Maybe I did it wrong but it did not work for my 2006 Mustang GT.

1) I turned the key to position 3 and hit the door unlock button on the door 3 times.
2) I turned the key to position 1 and hit the door unlock button on the door 3 time
3) Turned the key and got a short chirp immediatly when it went from the #1 to the #2 position (before getting to the #3 position).
3) Hitting the door lock button on the door two more times did nothing.

I'm sure I did everything in the short time alotted.

Still no headlights or other exterior lights when unlocking with the remote.

I tried the same thing except using the remote door unlock button on the key fob and didn't even get a chirp of the horn.

Anyone else have any luck? Or did I do something wrong?
