My car headlights do not turn on in park light setting or headlight on setting but when I put it in the auto setting, they all work fine. I did a continuity test on the switch and it tests OK. What else could cause the lights to not work except for in the "auto" (night sensor) mode.

Hello !!

well the headlight system on today`s cars is really complicated, they are controlled by relays, timers and photo cell sensors, we can start checking the relays i`m going to send an a electrical schematic to your email full size and we can start following wires until we find the problem.

sounds good to you?

I see that you`re good with the multimeter probably you can find the problem with the schematic.

let me know if you`re agree with that!

BTW thanks a lot for your donation we really appreciate that!
