What are the headlights set to on the stick? OFF or AUTO?

 

I'm wondering if with your foot on the gas pedal it will start the car, but if your foot is not on the gas pedal it will shut it off?

You didn't mention if after pressing the start button the engine continued to run or not.

 

The are off as I drive. I went out last night for a drive when I noticed it. The pictures are just after I got home to capture the lights. Ignore the closed garage door.

They are set to Auto.

Edit: I just checked and they were set to off. I will try again tonight.

 

I will feel pretty dumb if that was the cause. Also, 100% wondering what I looked like last night running to the store. I always had it on auto. The dealership must have turned it.

 

Yeah they will typically turn them off when in for service work. I guess so as not to run down the battery.

 

Well, THAT'S a relief. I was going nuts after the scheduled service on Thursday. HL's wouldn't come on even when switching to "Auto" when it was dark. Had to manually turn them on. I had my wife clean off the disc, and/or tap on it as well. I figured I would check with them today or tomorrow and bring it in to have it checked. But last night I was fiddling around with the stalk, and it looks like there are TWO "Auto" stops (circles or whatever) on the HL switch controllers. It seems both have to be in the auto for it to work the way it should.

 

It's pretty common for dealers to change headlights from Auto to Off. Had that happen with my CRV.

 

I 100% should have checked. I have caught it the other times I have picked up my car. I'll be embarrassed but equally happy if this is my "fix".
