Not sure if this is normal. I've never noticed my wife's ct200 taillights coming on before in daylight. She has it set on "auto". We just got the car back from the body shop and I wonder if they messed something up since her keyless entry doesn't work now when you approach the car or touch the door handle.

No, they come on when it's dark enough. There's something wrong with your car. Is keyless system disabled from the settings?

This car was in a accident or body damage on the driver's front door correct?

They did not connect or install a extension cable inside the door that runs to the door handle. It is a $60 part.

If lights come on in the daytime, did this car have a dash replacement from the passenger side airbag deploying? Then likey they did not reconnect the photo sensor on the dash.

Back to the body shop time and schedule a rental car. Sounds like a common story of a body shop.

No damage that required airbag replacement. It was painted on the drivers door, and the rear door, and thats where I wonder if something went wrong. As for the settings, I went through them and everything looks fine. Thing is, even though the headlights don't come on in daylight, the rear lights do. It goes back to the shop tomorrow, as all work is guaranteed for life.
