Default Auto headlights won't shut off

I started having a weird intermittent healight problem, I started having my AFS light randomly come on while driving. Now randomly my headlights won't turn off only when set to auto. I have no bulbs out and I also have no blown fuses. The only way I can turn the lights off is if I manually shut the headlights off. Any ideas whould be great.

Are you saying your headlights do not turn off 30 secs after the car is turned off and the driver has exited the car? If so, the switch on the driver's door that senses when the door is closed might be defective. It's a small switch enclosed in a circular piece of rubber. JMCRANEY had a post on this topic a few years ago.

I found the problem with mine to be the sensor on the inside of the driver door. Once I read the JMCRANEY info, I jiggled the switch and everything popped on. I tried to replace it with the back passenger door, but I could tell the wires would pop inside the car. Apparently you need something to hold the wires while you swap the part. Try that and see.
