As the title says, I'm having an issue with my automatic headlights on my 2014 Lone Star. If the switch is on auto, they won't come on regardless of how dark it is. I can turn them on by turning the switch to the on position though. Any thoughts? I believe the sensor is the little dome looking thing on the dash. Tried wiping it off and making sure it wasn't blocked by anything, but no luck.

The dome on the dashboard is for the auto-headlights. But even if it was blocked, it would make the headlights stay on all the time, not refuse to turn on.

I've checked fuses and all looks good. Guess I'll be taking it to the stealership friday, which I was trying to avoid. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Update:
I took the truck to the dealer this morning, and they got it taken care of. The culprit was actually the switch itself and not the sensor on the dash. Just FYI, if anyone else ever comes across this issue. Hopefully all the bugs are worked out now, as I've had my 3rd brake light leak, the driver's seat adjuster had to be replaced, and this light issue. Not to mention all the recalls, all of that being within 1 1/2 years of owning it.
