What Fuse number was it 9 or 53? as I wil;l have a go this weekend

Well tried disconnecting the battery, still the same, tried shining a torch into the sensor still same.
It looks like the automatic lights and wipers have been disabled and revert to permanently on or in the case of the wipers to standard intermittent, is this a dealer setting option?
Id the light switch it lest on position 4 and I take the ignition key out then I get a warning that the lights are on and the side light remain on, should I look at the light switch next , if so how do I remove it
Any other suggestions welcome

I may be being stupid but does anyone know how to remove the light switch is it Rave as I can’t find it or by searching on the forum - Thanks

sorry came in here at the end on the posts, do you want to remove the headlight switch in the dash...

Yes, I think so as I can’t think what else it can be. I have replaced the sensor but no change unless it is a dealer option to turn the automatic lights and wipers off, does anyone know if this is an option?

My 2010 has been told to run with lights on at all times, are you sure yours hasn't as well? Testbook will confirm. I got sick of people pulling out on me, so opted for lights on at start up. so sidelights setting = sidelights, off =on, on =on, auto=on. The little indicator comes on for me on the 2010 dash to tell me the lights are auto on (even though they are on anyway) when it thinks they should be on..... Land Rover Addict

ok hackweg, did you auto lights and wipers work when you got the car..have you checked that the connector is in the rain/light module behind the mirror.
when you switch the lights to auto what happens.
did you say you have lost the rain function on the wipers.
do you get any warnings come up at all  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Still having same problem with my 09. No Lights in "Auto" position. Replaced sensor, checked fuses. Bobby told me to chk Relay 274 but 10 different LR Dealers in U.S could not tell me location even after I forwarded electrical mapping that Bobby sent me to them. Was going to try and replace switch but was told it was probably not that. Just going to wait till I have to take it for 1st big service in a few months. Very frustrating. Mike

you live in 'sun valley' so maybe its not dark enough there to switch the lights on.. . ... - .- -.

Yes, car still under warranty but it is 4 hr drive to nearest RR dealer. Have decided to take it to dealer when it is ready for 1st big service and have them fix auto light prob at same time. They just hook up the diagnostic device that they say will pin point the fault pretty quick......i hope . Mike

Sorry been away with work for a while

The lights have always been the same, I have only had the car six months

When I switch the lights to auto they come on as though they were switched to on in poss 3, if I leave the switch in this position and stop the car get out the warning ‘Lights on’ appears and the lights switch to side lights.

The wipers seem to work as normal intermittent wipers would do without an automatic rain sensor, as I said I have replaced the sensor and checked the connection.

To me it seems that the ECU does not know that the vehicle has automatic lights and wipers and functions as if it were a model without this function.

Can the automatic function be disabled ? by a dealer

in daylight if you put the swithc to auto what happens to the lights  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

The lights come on even in bright light
