Default last issue, auto headlamps, I promise. :D

Sorry for posting so many threads all of a sudden. I've had a few problems that I've never addressed, and just recenlty found this forum.

I have a problem with the auto headlamps working. They stopped working awhile ago (they just stay on always), then a week later, started to work for a day, and then stopped all together (this was months ago). They just stay on now. Is there a sensor that i need to replace to get them working again, or some other common issue?

Thanks!
Justin

Hi Justin,
As far as I know, the sensor for the auto headlights is in the bracket that holds the rear view mirror on. So if the windscreen is mega-mucky it thinks it's dark all the time and the auto function works to switch the lights on. If you don't suffer from mucky windscreens, then I guess the sensor has taken a wobbler, either that or the switch itself.

Hope this Helps.

johnnybee.
