Q: A problem with my headlight control sensor and navigation changing to night and day mode.

asked by on February 21, 2017

How much would it be to replace my headlight control sensor on my 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid and if the sensor is bad would it cause my navigation system not to change from day to night mode when it is being used? I have a hard time believing it would cause my navigation system not to switch to night and day mode.
