Unhappy Light Problem

Ok, I put in a new battery yesterday in my 99 Camaro and runs great, voltage is about 13.5...BUT now all my exterior lights stay on all the time!?!?! WTF

is there something that needs to be reset?

There's a sensor somewhere on the car that makes your lights come on according to the light outside. If it's dark your headlights come on automatically. Maybe you did something that is blocking the light from entering the sensor. The bad thing is that I don't know where it is. Anyone have an idea of where it is? and if it is located near the battery? Sorry I couldn't be more help .

there should be a little led blinking light on the top of the dash where the defroster duct is... i believe that's the light sensor... cuz i've set something on top of that and caused my lights to go on...

Just a place to start - check the fuses. I'm not sure but i would bet there is a fuse for the auto headlights. Like my daddy always told me - "start with the simple stuff"

the dash mat is triping your sensor. The auto light sensor is located to the side of the alarm light (red blinking one) one of the first things I did to my car when i got it was dis conect the auto lights.

ANyone wants directions as to how contact me.
