Has anyone else experienced this? Twice now my headlights have not “defaulted to automatic” and have remained on after I shut off the vehicle and exit. I’m not talking about the courtesy exterior lighting for a brief period, I’m talking about the actual headlights. I had a waitress come to me in a restaurant last week to tell me she thought I’d left the lights on in my truck. I never even touch the light control knob on the dash (unless I possibly brush against it wiping off the dashboard) and the owner’s manual seems clear that the headlights default to auto every time you start the truck, so I’m baffled.

Cycle the light switch to on and then off to see if that fixes the issue.

Hello and thank you for the reply. Yes I did cycle the light switch and was able to get the headlights to turn off. But then I had to do the same thing a couple days later when it happened a second time. That’s the mysterious part. Anyway, so far it has only happened twice, so I’m in the wait and see mode and hoping that it doesn’t happen any more. 👍

I just started getting this issue too. I leave my lights set to Auto but twice now they were changed to a manual setting.

The only thing I can think of that may have caused it was the other day I was work right next to my truck and the lights kept turning on and off because of the key detection. Maybe the truck thought I needed some light to work in the area.

The only other changes is that it has been raining a lot lately.

It’s only happened to me twice so far. One of the times I was also working close to my truck in my garage and had the lights coming on and off several times, but the second time was after pulling into a restaurant parking lot and going inside to eat, then a waitress came by and said she thought I left my lights on. That was the strange one. Anyway, hasn’t happened since but I don’t know what I did to cause it or to cure it!

I did recently decrease the length of time the lights stay on down to 10 seconds so I can see them shut off before I’m out of sight of the truck.
