Auto lights not working

I replaced the starter today, and when my wife went out tonight, the headlights wouldn’t shut off with the switch on auto. She had to turn the switch to the off position. It is now 10:30 so I won’t check anything until tomorrow

actually I keep the dash sensor covered so the lights come on during the day, but yesterday after disconnecting the batteries, they wouldn’t go out and the beeper was alerting that the lights were on as of the switch was in the on position. Aperently, the switch reset itself, because today the lights are working correctly
