Default Minor issues with my 2006 Malibu LT

I have 2 questions regarding my 2006 Malibu LT.

1. My interior headlamp's "auto mode" doesn't work but I can manually turn it on and off fine. I can't figure out what would cause this, it's not the door sensor what could it be?

2. Second, I have had constant problems with my keyless entry remotes for the past 2 years. Sometimes the remote start won't work, locking the car hardly ever works but the trunk and unlock buttons always seemed to work until recently. I get the "key fob batt low" error, but I just recently changed the batteries on both remotes so I assume it has something to do with the sensor? How should I go about pin pointing the problem.

Thanks for any help ahead of time

Is this the daylite running lites, is the car used? If so where they disabled?

For the remote, Buy a new rubber for it from eBay! It really helps. I had the same problem..
