ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BETWEEN 2/05/11 AND 3/8/11 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, WITH HEADLAMPS IN AUTO MODE, IDLING AT A FULL STOP, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTING SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT RESET IN AUTO MODE. GM REPAIRED BY REPLACING A AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR ON 3/9/11. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHILE STOPPED/IDLING AT NIGHT (DOES NOT OCCUR AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS).
