No. Hundreds upon hundreds of jumpstarts later I can honestly answer no.
The 2004 Pontiac Aztek does not have automatic headlights; the headlights must be manually turned on by the driver. However, it does feature daytime running lights that activate when the vehicle is in motion. For night driving or low-light conditions, the driver needs to switch on the headlights manually.
To operate the headlights and running lights on a 1998 Chevy Malibu, locate the headlight switch on the left side of the steering column. Turn the switch to the right to activate the parking lights and further to the right to turn on the headlights. The headlights will automatically turn off when the switch is turned back to the off position. For automatic headlights, ensure the vehicle is in the "Auto" position if equipped.
yes when its running and warm
What year is the vehicle? Did you check the fuse?
If the lights flicker when the vehicle is running, the alternator is on it's way out.
Sounds like your vehicle is equipped with the daytime running lights (DRL system) When the vehicle is started and the emergency brake is released , the daytime running lamps automatically come on. Start your vehicle and then apply the parking brake to see if the headlights shut off , if they do then you have the DRL system.
Your vehicle is equipped the Daytime Running Lights, (DRL). A daytime running lamp (DRL, also daylight running lamp or daytime running light) is a lighting device on the vehicle that are installed in pairs. They automatically are switched on when the vehicle is moving forward, and is intended to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle during daylight conditions.
Yes. During the daytime the lights will be out if the van is parked and running, but when put into a gear, the lights come on. If it's dark, the ambient light sensor recognizes the need for light and turns the lights on when the vehicle is started. The intent is to make the vehicle more visible. I've found that on my 2000 I can override the automatic lights by pressing the "Dome Override" button on the dash four times in succession. I get a single chime and the headlights go to manual control. They return to automatic control the next time the vehicle is started.
you have a short or maybe it's a fuse shot
Depends on manual or automatic, driving style, and if the vehicle is modified. I will say that it is not stellar no matter what. If MPG is a primary concern, Jeeps may not be for you.
on my 2003 there is a knob on the left hand side of the dash that controls the headlites. if you turn it all the way to the left (its spring loaded) while the vehicle is on the lites will turn off.
To turn off the headlights in a Ford Explorer, locate the headlight switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn the switch to the "Off" position. If your vehicle has an automatic headlight feature, ensure that the vehicle is in the "Off" position or the engine is turned off, as the headlights may turn off automatically after a short period. If needed, you can also adjust the settings in the vehicle’s menu for more control.
