like make the headlights stay on when you open the door? on mine you open the door, lights go off. turn the lights to the off position then back on and they come back on.

But it's not "fixing" it... b/c It's not broken. I actually love that feature. Not sure if there's a way to bypass it though.

Yeah that is a feature of the vehicle - highly doubt there is anyway to bypass it. Its not too hard to turn off the lights and turn them back on once you remove the key is it???

I cant remember - are they supposed to turn off once you open the door or close it maybe? And the easiest way to fix it is to take it to the dealer - its under warranty...

is the "door open" light coming on when you open the door with the car running? if not i would check the door switch. if so you should have your dealer look at it, sounds like an electrical issue somewhere. if you have an aftermarket alarm, this would be the first place i would look.

I actually miss the headlight delay I had on my Dodge ram , youd turn the vehicle off and the headlights would stay on for a preset time limit , helped finding keys for the front door at night but driving tc is well worth the sacrafice

how bout this, mine work fine but if i run my auto start they stay on. Anyway to get a timer or something to turn them off. When I run the auto start they don't turn off cuz I don't open or close the door.
