Question regarding LCI e70 headlight switch movement on its own
Soo, I am not sure if this is intended, and I may just go to the dealer and ask, but I figured that I would ask you folks if you know anything about this.

What happens:

I unlock the vehicle, get in, and notice that the headlight switch is either in the auto position, parking lights, or full on. I turn it to off '0'. I drive normally then park the vehicle ensuring that the switch is still on the '0'. Lock the vehicle, get out and do whatever.

I come back to the X, unlock it, get in and notice that the switch is not where I left it.

I disabled welcome lights, set the duration of driveway lighting to zero, but the switch still moves itself. Today i disabled the corona rings to see if that makes any difference.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

I swear I am not crazy...

Man I know exactly what you are talking about. I had the same problem on my '08. One day I noticed that coming in the car I turned the light off with my knee. It happens all the time to me.

I thought you were lying or something when I first saw this thread but today I experienced something very similar - the car made the alarm noise saying lights were left on when I got out and I looked down to see that it was set to sidelights (I've never had it set to anything other than auto). I must have hit the dial with my knee while getting in. To be honest, if I hadn't seen this thread a few days ago, I would have been questioning my sanity!!

YEP! Happened several times, and my spouse didn't believe me at first.

I'm guessing is your knee. That or it's something else...

Thanks folks. I am definitely crazy. I know that I hit the switch this morning with my knee.

Is everyone over 6 feet tall? Maybe I need to adjust my seat more.
