As Paul Harvey used to say, "And Now the rest of the Story" I find it easy to get flamed on these forums but when you leave out half the story you almost invite it.

Automatic interior light programming?

I looked through the manual and found nothing.
On the 2010 Fusion, is there a way to program the interior lights so they don't automatically come on when you turn off the car? I found the one so the headlights don't come on when you use the remote to unlock the car, but not the aforementioned interior lights.
Thx!

Not that I know of. Did you check the owner's manual?

The color of the lights was not the issue of concern, so I didn't mention it until I was universally flamed by all respondents. The issue was that Ford wasn't going to stand behind a vehicle with 36100 miles on it. In the end, they did, as they should have, regardless of how or who bought the car.

You have always been a strong supporter of Ford, nvbanker, so I am glad to hear how this turned out. Had I been in your shoes on this deal, I would likely have felt much the way you did.
Anytime I have ever had a problem that was "gray," Ford has stepped up to the plate including AWAs for my Lincoln LS and even for the old Taurus we used to have. They don't always have products that I want but I always felt like they treated me fairly. Of course, I have always had the dealer on my side and your situation was a bit different.
Again, glad this worked out and congratulations for getting it done.

Cars bought at auction are almost always bought "as is". Apparently the Ford Credit auctions are different and we didn't know that.

You do realize that (a) the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata are made right here in the USA, and (b) you just replied to a post from almost a year ago. Right?

So it is a year old. He made a good point, and I agree. Sure there are some foreign junk made here but all the profit goes back to their country to help their economy, not ours. If more people bought American when possible we wouldn't be where we are now. I go out of my way to buy American when I can like I don't have a foreign piece of clothes in my closet and my tennis shoes are New Balance which in most cases are also American. I look at the labels and get what I can.

I agree with your post and try to buy American made whenever possible..the issue I have with the fusion is that it is made in Mexico with only 55% US parts..even the eng/tranny are foreign built..another car I am considering is the camry, built in the US with 75% US/CA. parts..buying a ford fusion may help the co. and its stockholders but I don't see how it helps our own people get decent jobs...
