09 G37x Headlights won't turn off under autoheadlights after car wash - sensor?

Not sure what exactly happen. I have a 09 g37x coupe. I got a car wash at a dealership and the headlights stay on under autoheadlights now. I checked the sensitivity in the settings, even when I put it all the way down it still stays on. Anybody know where the sensor is so I can check it? Thanks in advance

I believe the sensor is inside the car on the dash. Check the delay to turn off the lights...

In the meantime, can't just just manually turn off the lights.

The sensor is on the top of the dash, close to the windshield (so that its always in plain view of the sun/dark). Look in the owners manaul to get the EXACT location, but that sounds odd..GL in diagnosing this!

thanks I will take a look on the top of the dash. I know the delay and sensitivy in the settings all fine because it was working perfect before that. The dealership cleans the inside and wipes it all down, so maybe something stuck on it. ill let you know how it goes

On a side note, never let the dealer wash your car...
