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!
