Today was the coldest morning of the winter and I left my truck out last night (Doh!). So I get in and start it, and the lights don't come on. I turned them on manually and drove to work. When I got here I tried the auto lights again and they still didn't work.
Anyone know if cold effects them? I obviously haven't investigated it yet, but thought I'd see if there's some common, possibly temperature related cause for this.
Sounds like the light sensor is MIA/broken/fogged over......
I hate auto lights. I can manage the switch fine on my own, thank you.

That's what I was thinking, but I've never looked at it before. Do you know where it's located? I suspect somewhere in the front behind the grill, maybe?

I love them, and thank you for adding nothing to this thread.
It is in the center of the dash by the windshield, a small domed plastic piece. Are you sure it didn't get deactivated somehow? Try pushing the dome override button quickly (I think it is 5 times). It should chime and they will turn on or off.

What he said.
In reply to camaroz1985:
It's possible, but I don't think so. Then again, my boys and my wife occasionally drive it, so who knows. I didn't know about the dome override button, I'll try that.
Dome override trick will only work for that key cycle though.
There is also a relay in the underhood fuse box. Cold might have killed it?

Silly of me for wanting everything on my truck to work as intended...
