Default Voluntary headlights

I put the new tires with new TPS units on tonight and in the process found that the voltage was low. I put the charger on and now when I turn on the key the headlights pop up and stay on regardless of what I do with the headlight switch or ignition switch. If I take the key out they turn off and close in a couple minutes and do this also when the battery is disconnected.

I did hear some relays trying to reset by the passenger foot area until I disconnected the battery as well.

I am wondering if this will continue after the batt is fully charged or has anybody experienced sucha deal with the headlights?

I did get the TPS programmed though......all from the help of this board. Thanks to all that post answers to questions here!!!

You don't have twilight sensors, do you? Lights would come up in a dark garage.

Also if you have the light sensor on top of the dash covered up, they will come on. The twight sentinel allows you to program how long they'll remain on.

I do have twilight but have not had them come on before. I will have to check how they are currently set up....maybe I changed the setting accidentally when programming the TPS units.

Thanks for the feedback.
