Head lights are on all the time

[doctorhrdware]

I just started to notice that the head lights no longer turn on when it gets dark, they are on all the time. Where is the sensor that I need to replace. Is it the black domed piece in the center of the dash board. Which is near the heat vent. I also need the part number so that I can order the part and get it replaced. The wife has been bugging the hell out of me to get this problem fixed. The stealership wanted $250 to fix the problem. I can skin my knuckles and have a very good dinner out.

the sensor is the dome piece you see on the top of the dash ... you will need to use your vin# to get the part from the dealership. the top of the dash is normally lifted up/off to replace. cost I have seen is about 30 USD..


THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME !!!!!

Thanks J Cat I did not known that that the sensor is different. I will have to hit the dealership to get the sensor.

This shows how to get that sensor out and the dash cover off.

Thanks so much for the procedure to take the dash cover that was going to be another question I was going to have.
