Default Automatic headlights not working...

Searched and only found stuff on the LS and RX but after getting my car back from the shop my auto hl's don't turn off anymore and my interior light doesn't come on when opening the doors. Could it be a bad faulty door switch from when the shop repaired/replaced my broken door lock actuator?

Sounds like your actuator is at fault. When you park your vehicle, press the lock button on your remote. Then start walking around the car trying to open each door. I bet one of them will open. If that is the case, there are a couple D.I.Y. on how to fix it, just use the search option.
