Auto headlights sometimes don’t turn off

BCM = Body Control Module.

From what I’ve read they are model variant specific and in later cars their programming is tied to the VIN (and that second hand units could be problematic to reprogram) but others will be able to make more accurate comment

There is a link to a factory VY workshop manual referenced somewhere within these forums so worth a search

Thanks for that! Just done the google thing! Sounds a bit involved for a minor issue! Might just live with it! Thanks again!

It will not be the door switch if the lights stay on after you lock the car because locking the car shuts off the power to the headlights

How do i know because i walked out to the garage and turned my headlights switch from the auto position to the on position then closed the door then locked the car with the key fob and the lights turned off. it also turns off the interior lights which is controlled by the door switch

Ok now try removing your driver's side door button put your headlights on auto and do it
