Tail and amber lights won’t shut off

Hello peoples

i have a Honda Civic coupe 2013 lately the tail lights and front amber lights won’t shut off when the car is on this started happening about two weeks ago. What I mean is that it turns on when the day time light are on also. I turn the inside switch and shut them off put it stay on. Does anyone have an idea about this problem? I will gladly appreciate your help thank you!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Did you toss something on top of the dash that is covering up the sunlight sensor?

Got a CD player? Got kids that might stck coins in the CD slot? (You'd be amazed at how many different problems that can cause LOL)

Re: Tail and amber lights won’t shut off

You will have to observe exactly when the marker/tails are coming on. And, what/ if anything will make them go off.

Any electrical mods ?

the tail and front amber lights come on as soon as I turn the car on. The only mod I did was adding Led headlights but is that was the case wouldn’t I get an error code for the lights? Besides that nothing else.
