Strange Issue With My Lights When On Auto

[krosfyah]

Guys anyone else get this? I keep my lights on auto. What i find is that if i start the car at dawn, when its still sort of dark, the lights come on (as they should, as its not very light out side). However as the sun rises and it gets to full daylight, my lights wont go off. I have to turn them to Manual setting by turning them off, then they go off (as they should) then i turn them back to auto and they dont come on again.

I only seem to get this when i start the car when its still early and dark and then the day gradually gets lighter. If i keep them on auto at other times they behave exactly as they should.

Anyone get this?

Its just whats called the "dead band" of the sensor, it'll trip at one light amount but wont reset till one a bit lower.

So when you turn the lights off then back to auto its below the trip point so they dont come on.

Many thanks, i thought it might be something similar to that as it only happened as the ambient light increased gradually during sun-up
