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.

It's the knee thing...or you have a ghost.

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.

Your car is haunted!!

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

Crazy... haha

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.
