Hey,
I’m looking for some advice concerning a small dysfunction isolated in the automated headlight function of the car
I have a 2015 VF SS Commodore Sedan. It’s completely stock, in terms of electrics, for informations sake.
Essentially the headlights are auto-activating even when passing through just a short, mildly shady section of road during the day (though activating appropriately at night), and remaining on full a majority of (if not the full trip), but function fine in activation at dusk/night.
My main issue though has been that I have to manually switch them off whenever this occurs, as it has run the battery flat when it was stored in a garage for a week or two (forgot to check as I locked up).
I’m not referring to daylight runners, which work fine, as do high beams. I’ve also had it checked three times at Jarvis and Holden’s who couldn’t get the same fault to trigger (apparently), and it didn’t leave a fault code (asits recorded as an appropriate activation), plus it can be sporadic.
Only thing I have heard is that the dash-mat may be just slightly interfering with the sensor, though I don’t know how reliable this is.
Although it’s not a huge issue, it is an annoying one, and most of all I’d like to know if it’s indicative of anything else that may go wrong (fingers crossed ).
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
