brianhfnh Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 My 2007 headlights never turn off with "auto" selected any longer. By "headlights"I mean all night time lighting of course. I am simply using the headlight switch to select on/off and they do turn off when commanded, but they are not working properly. Does anyone else have this issue? Does the light sensor have a "booger" in it blocking the daylight or something? Any idea where it is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 are you blocking the sensor on the dash? are you in Canada and have DRL or did you buy it used and it has the DRLs turned on and you didn't know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Is the knob in the correct position? Straight up is off and one to the left is the auto lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 How long (min.) is your "auto-delay" set for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhfnh Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) I do have the switch in the correct position for auto operation. It has worked flawlessly for two years now. We only noticed it because the radio/odometer dimms when the lights come on, and it was diffficult to read the displays during the day, and they are on continously. I will look on the dash for the sensor. Is it easy to find? We purchased it new in New Hampshire and sorry friend, but what is a DLR? I really appreciate the input. It is still under warentee, but if it something simple it would save me trip to the dealership. Edited January 24, 2010 by brianhfnh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhfnh Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I did figure the DRL's. If they were active they would not run the tail lights and dim the indicators. My Edge thinks it is night all the time, don't know why. Thanks again Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dash cover on mine & it shields it enough that the lights stay on longer then they really need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhfnh Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I figured thats what that thing was. It is clear and free and should be working. Thanks all for your input, off to the dealership. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
