Auto On headlights stop working.

I just installed HID kit and now my headlights will not come on automatically at night. Is there a fix. Thx Mike

good luck

Normal Operation
With the headlamp switch turned to the AUTOLAMP position, a battery voltage signal is sent to the vehicle security module (VSM) through circuit 220 (VT/OG). The VSM then determines the amount of ambient light based on the input received from the light sensor. The input signal from the light sensor to the VSM is received through circuit 218 (WH/VT). When the ambient level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the VSM), 2 internal relays are energized to supply voltage to the exterior lamps. Circuit 196 (DB/OG) supplies voltage to the internal headlamp relay, which then supplies voltage to circuit 15 (RD/YE) when energized. Circuit 195 (TN/WH) supplies voltage to an internal parking lamp relay, which then supplies voltage to circuit 14 (BN) when energized.

DTC B1793 — sets when the VSM detects a short to ground on the autolamp sensor input circuit.

Possible Causes
Circuit 218 (WH/VT) short to ground
Circuit 220 (VT/OG) open
Light sensor
Headlamp switch
VSM
