Have them set to auto mode and adjusted all the way sensitive and only time they will come on is when its completely dark out or going under a overpass or in a tunnel. If they come on while passing under a overpass I dont know why they wont come on when its twilight and sun has been down for 20 minutes and pretty dark out.
When its low light and rainy out they dont come on either so I have to manually turn them on.
I can also hold my hand over the quarter size round sensor on dash and they still dont come on.
Is there another light sensor somewhere besides one on the dash?
Random thought but say you wanted your lights to be on all the time (without the annoying chime that comes on when you have the lights in the "ON" position and you happen to be too lazy to turn them on/off everytime you drive your car), what if you just covered the sensor on the mirror so it always thought it was dark?
the climate control is adjusted via the thermometer in the engine bay. the sensor on the dash is for the auto lights.
if you want to see for yourself, it is clearly stated in the owners manual
Hmmmm I can completely cover the dash sensor and the light do not come on. Not that it really bothers me that much but im on a quest now to figure this out!
well yesterday i help a friend moved in to his new home and didn't have lights and i turn on my lights and the car was off after like 1 or 2 min the light automatically turn off anyways so it doesn't have to be on auto for it to auto turn off..
Weird. Mine is ridiculously sensitive on auto. Even on the lowest setting, the sun will still be pretty high in the sky and the lights stay on (when driving out of the parking garage at work). But if I turn them off and back on auto, they won't come back on. So usually I just control them manually now.
