Hey guys,

I like to leave the auto lights on just as everyone does, but lately they have been staying on after I lock the car. Has anyone had this before? / solved it before?

I've already had a couple of dead batteries from the mrs. not noticing the lights are still on.

cheers.

I don't think it'd be the sensor... the lights should turn off once the ignition is off and they time out (depending on how you have them set up in the options menu) whether they're on auto or manual.
No idea what the problem might be. Sorry. Just don't think it has anything to do with the sensor.

Check the drivers door light switch. It can start to get corrosion on the screw, and the inside of the switch which may affect operation.
