Auto headlights not turning off
I have a new 2016 4R TRD Pro. Love it. But the auto headlights will not turn off sometimes. I know click lock fob twice, and sometimes that works but more often than not headlights do not turn off. I am probably doing something wrong but was curious if others are having issues... Thank you

frustrating
thank you... it seems simple enough... I turn truck off, walk away, headlights turn off (after factory set delay). But it rarely does that! Frustrating... but I am grateful to count that as a "problem" in my life!

If you lock it and walk away they stay on for 20-30 seconds. If you double click lock they'll blink and turn off. They're usually done that way as a safety feature so you have some ambient light from the vehicle, e.g if you were in a parking structure.

Mine does not turn off. sometimes the double click will do it, but most times not... Hate to come out of a movie theater and see headlights still on...

Is your light stalk controls set to the default positions?

If I pull into the garage at night when the lights are on in the auto position and do not close all the doors because I am taking things out the headights will not turn off until all the doors are closed but I assume you are having the problem when all the doors are closed.

Assuming you're using auto headlights? Or are the headlights turned to the on position?

My truck doesn't have an auto setting it has on or off that's a trail premium.

Recently ran into this issue and one of the other things I noticed is that my interior dome lights as well as my door open on the dashboard isn't coming on also. Thinking this might be part of the issue but am not sure if there's a relay to check for this issue or if it's in the ecu?

Normally engine off. Doors open. Doors closed. Then lock would turn off the lights. If it's not registering Doors open this might be part of the issue. Am I the only one?

It was my fault lol. Bad ground when rewiring aux DRL. Disregard.

Everyone double check your grounds 🤣

My 2016 TE turns off the headlights after a short while but if I click the fob lock button just once they turn off immediately. For quick stops I rely on the auto shut off to see it work properly but if leave the vehicle for longer periods I turn them off and don't chance it.

Same here,
Sometimes lights stay on. Not sure which combo makes this happen. If you unlock and don’t open the door it locks again. If you park then not lock, I think the lights stay on. But I’ve seen where I swear it was locked but the lights stayed on

Same with mine. Have to turn the lights off manually.

Also, there is no low fuel and low windshield washer warning lights !

Doesn't bother me, but never seen that in a car !!
