Can someone point out to me where this sensor is? My Lights are always fully on and therefore my tailights always on so I have no brakes lights to turn on. Want to check to see if this sensor is blocked or needs cleaning before I service it. I would assume it is someplace by the dash and window, but have not had any luck finding and the manual does not give me a location.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

first of all, a model year would help a little.
secondly, the Daytime Running Lights come on anytime the key is on, the e-brake is off, and the headlights are off. And they only turn on the forward lights
I think what your getting at is the automatic headlight feature. There should be 2 small holes in the center of the dash near the windshield. One hole, has a red L.E.D. in it if you have a factory alarm, the other hole has a recessed sunload sensor. to get it out you have to remove both a-pillar covers, and pry up on the dash panel. To get the sensor out, you just twist counterclockwise

thank you for the explanation and pictures, they will be a great help! Year of van would of probably help! Lol! It is a 1999 and it is indeed the automatic feature that is all the time.
Hoping it is just a gummed up sensor and not a take it to the shop and spend lots of money deal! LoL!
