The dusk sensor on my chevy colorodo does not work

The headlights stay on all of the time. I need to manually turn them off. I checked to make sure that there is nothing blocking the sensor and I cleaned the sensor to make sure that there was no dust

Check to make sure all the fuses and all the relays are good, the relays should be able to be checked your local auto parts chain e.g. autozone napa if they are all good then the sensor has gone out and you would need to get one from your local chevrolet dealer.

Daytime running lights , bypass switch

The switch is automatic when you turn the car on. DRL stay lit as long as it is not dusk, once dusk the DRL automatically turn off and headlights turn on. Camaros are made in Canada, and DRL are universal throughout North America. What is happening is that the shed where the inspection is taking place is dark enough to simulate dusk , and the photocell is turning off the DRL and turning on the headlights. Someone at the inspection station is misinformed. DRL D=Daytime not Nighttime, which the darkness in the shed is simulating.

2002 pontiac grand am turn car off pull the key but the head lights wont shutt off

Headlights run on direct battery power. Check to make sure you have the headlight switch for manual use in the off position. If equipped with a dusk sensor, move switch/wheel/lever on switch to lowest sensetivity.

Headlights wont turn off

the first thing to check is the headlight switch, they will go bad and keep lights on,also i dont know how long youve own this truck but theres and auto setting on switch and the lights come on even with the swith off at dusk,and also there are driving lights that are on all the time,if you turn key off and they stay on for more than 2 mins, then check the switch,if you mean there on every time you start it ,even during the day, then the sensor on the dash may be bad or you may have something cover it and it thinks its dark out and turning on the lights.

How to adjust Dusk Sensing Headlights on a Subaru outback.

Hello, to my knowledge there is no way to do this adjustment manually. You must hook up the Subaru scan tool and adjust the sensitivity that way. If the dealer has already calibrated it once they may have just not desensitized it enough or the sensor is faulty and is not accepting the recalibration protocol and is biased to full sensitivity. In this case the sun-load sensor must be replaced. I hope this info helps...(subytech1)...

Body Control Module - 2000 Chevy Blazer

Not sure about a body control module, there is a pcm under the hood on the pass. side that controls most everything on these, however i would check your fuses for the seat, on the 00 models the headlights do stay on all the time while driving due to daytime running lights but if they stay on after you take the key out then id check the headlight switch or sensor on the pass side dash.
