The cost to diagnose the B1793 Ford code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends a voltage signal to the headlamp switch and the light sensor.
When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the voltage signal is routed to ground. When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the SJB monitors the light sensor input. The light sensor determines the amount of light based on the input received from the ambient lighting conditions. When the ambient level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the SJB ), the SJB provides voltage to the headlamps, parking and license plate lamps. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the SJB detects a short to ground from the light sensor input circuit.
