When the automatic light sensor called for headlights, whether or not automatic lights were on, the use of the Right turn signal would automatically cause the bright lights to engage. This did not happen in the bright light of a normal day but only when the dash sensor was indicating a lack of light. Even in manual mode, if it was dark out, applying the Right blinker would cause the bright lights to engage.
It eventually got worse and started happening when the Left turn switch returned to normal (the bright lights would come on).
The it got so bad they would turn on while simply operating the vehicle...but always and only when the indicator said it was dark out. I tested with a light and as long as the light was on the sensor, the blinkers and bright lights worked as designed. As soon as it thought it was dark, blam, bright lights for every left turn.
I found I could manipulate it by pulling the turn signal arm back a little and that would stop the brights from coming on but it was a fine line.
Ended up buying a replacement blinker assembly that goes in the steering column under the steering wheel and replacing it myself. What a bunch of work! But I finally have working blinkers and no more automatic bright lights -- even in the dark!
