Last night when I came home I shut my headlights off like I always do but when I got out i noticed the head lights were still on.I went back in the truck and i did turn the switch to off.So I turned the headlight switch back to on then back to off then they went off.why would my headlights do this?

 

If you cut the motor off before turning the lights off they will stay on and cut off after a few minutes. Very handy feature that I use all the time.

 

^^ what he said. They will go off on their own after a couple minutes. Its nice to light your way at night, I use it all the time too.

 

Yup if you turn the lights off after you shut the engine off the lights will stay on for a few minutes... I do the same thing

 

I use this feature too. If the engine is off and you flip the lights off they stay on for a few minutes.

 

^^ all correct. but its only one minute. its somewhere in the manual. i think you can turn it off somehow if you dont like it, along with the keyless lock horn and lights. a lot of cool little features i didnt know about until i read the manual.

did you know, if you turn your dimming dial all the way down, it turns off the dome lights even if your doors are open? so it doesnt kill your battery. theyre called party lights. i use em all the time!!

 

yeah but i dont have the auto headlights my trucks an st and it never did this before im guessing the swtich is going bad.

 

The lights are not auto as in they come on automatically when it gets dark enough. If you did this by accident you can simply turn them on and then back off again and they will go out.

 

doesnt matter if you've got auto lights or not. i don't.

try this
1. start engine
2. turn on lights
3. turn off engine
4. turn off lights
(simple right?)

they should stay on for 1 minute then cut off.
they're courtesy lights. for when you get home at night, or have a dark garage.

edit: it wont do it if you turn off the engine before the lights, if thats what you mean by "it never did this before"

 

ok well my lights dont stay on for a min after i shut them off at all the go right off.they never have .seeing i bought the truck used if its suppose to do this maybe its broken.
