Hey guys, at night I always put my headlights on "Auto" however after parking and turning the car off my lights never go off. Ive locked the doors, waited around for a bit, but the lights still stay on. Anything you can suggest? BTW ive searched the forum and couldnt find anything so please dont bash me or say its been covered before.. 05 coupe btw.

 

Usually takes around a minute for me for it to shut off

 

you can program time for auto shut off, instruction in the owner's manual

 

Care to share the instruction info?? no owner's manual here.

 

you can down load from here: http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/loca...s.php?catid=22

 

2007 owner's manual doesn't mention anything to do with changing the timing...

The autolight system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
and turn off the headlights when it is
light, and keep the headlights on for 45
seconds after you turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position and open any door
then close all the doors.
If the ignition switch is turned off and one
of the doors is opened and this condition
is continued, the headlights remain on for
5 minutes.

That's all we get.

 

According to ECM: Sensitivity of auto light can be selected and set from four modes.

I have to admit I am completely confused. Can you clarify? Is this while tuning?

Or just simply turn the lights "OFF", does the trick every time.

 

Or just get a horse cart😜

 

this just happened to me as well. I came home with my lights on auto, parked the car went inside and about 3 hours later I come back out to leave and sure enough...my car is dead. so next time I drove somewhere I left it on auto and monitored it..they didn't turn off. then I noticed even with the lights in the "on" position when I opened my door I didn't hear that annoying beep telling you that your lights are still on..so I'm wondering if for some reason the car thinks the keys are still in the ignition? btw I have an 04' 6mt coupe

 

You need to check your battery and or the light sensor or the relay that controls the headlight switching on and off while the it's on Auto
