Default Automatic headlights not working..ideas?

So I just swapped in a new dash but now my automatic headlight switch doesn't work..but manually they do..it worked before the swap but not after..I'm pretty sure I hooked up the two sensors but will have to check again another day..seeing if there may be another issue somewhere else..any help appreciated..thanks in advanced

Did the new dash come with the sensors or did you swap them off your old dash ?

I would try putting both your old sensors back on and start from there. Does your light indicator go on in your cluster when the lights are on ?

Did you end up getting it to work again?

my automatic lights have acted up since I had the HIDs installed. Hope you sort yours out.
