My headlights dont turn off EVEN WITH foglights off
My DRLs dont work, instead of just the headlights being turned on, all the lights are turned on....this also means my HUD is in "night mode" in bright sunlight....Also the dash lights are red all the time. the switch works, and is off but all the lights on the car turn on the instant the key is put in the ignition.
Is there an easy way to test the ambient light sensor on the dash as I assume that is why the headlights are turning on? I'm guessing its stuck "closed" or shorted meaning its not seeing the light of the day.
Or could this possibly be a problem with the DRLs not working so the headlights are always on?
I probably need to get a shop manual ASAP..but I'm looking for places to start troubleshooting this one.
