Default Lighting Help!!

I have searched previous posts but could not find anything. My lighting is acting strange. When I have the headlamps set to auto they work as advertised while driving but as soon as I turn off the ignition and go to get out of the car the parking lamps turn on and the door chime starts to go off to remind me that the lights are on. However, with the headlights turned to the headlamp position they too work while driving but when I turn off the ignition and get out of the car all lights turn off and no chime. Isn't this backwards? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sure sounds backward to me. When in AUTO and I shut the engine off, I get no chime and all lights shut off. Might be time to see the dealer.

Yeah I think I will have to pay them a visit tomorrow. Maybe it is just a relay or something simple.

how do you have your exit setup in the options?
Lights on timer and such.

Even if he's got a Twilight Delay set, it shouldn't be giving him a warning. The fact that the parking lamps are coming on does sound like the Twilight Delay, however.

kim.mitchell1, when the parking lights come on, how long do they stay on?

However, with the controls set for headlamps on, and the engine is shut off, there should be a warning chime, which isn't happening.
