I'm hoping some one can help me out, here's what i got:

1997 Ford Mustang GT Coupe convertible, 4.6L V8 automatic

My car has headlights and dash lights that turn on automatically when it gets dark out. The other day the light selector **** was in the auto position and the headlights and dash lights were on. Then all of a sudden the dash lights went out but the headlamps stayed on. If I used a turn signal or took my seat belt off the appropriate lights would illuminate but every thing else was dark. I pulled the light selector **** to the manual on position and the dash lights came back on. Any ideas on why they won't go on in the auto on position?

 

Try the auto headlight sensor on the dash or rear view mirror.

 

Ford put auto selectors in cars in 1997??? What??!?!?! I have never seen that before. I would say that your headlight **** switch.
