When switched into "auto" mode only the parking breaks come on. And they stay on all the time. I've been told it could be a bad switch or a sun sensor. The sun sensor is about $40, the switch can be had for about the same. I just manually turn the lights on. No big deal.

Okay so at about 130k the automatic headlights refused to work. I went to a junk yard and got a unload sensor, the sensor that turn the headlights on on top of the dash. at about 160k the headlights turned off altogether, the daylight running lamp still work but the actual headlight does not!
