Is there something covering the sensor on the top of the dash? Maybe papers or something? If so, remove it. If the sensor can't tell it's light, the headlights will remain on. Clean the sensor with glass cleaner and a paper towel. It may be dirty. Check the resistance value of the sensor. If it's high or you get no reading the sensor is bad. High resistance equals darkness and low resistance equals daylight. Hope that helps! Jim
