light sensor failure??

I had this code for a week or so, also over head light would come on for a sec when starting car. Not sure if it is the seat module or the over head one. I had to jump the car to start it and now it will not hold a charge. Anyone have any info on it??? Thanks

Whoa the exact same thing happened to me in the past week. I had the light sensor failure warning but it started to happen right after I changed my tail light bulbs. So I thought it was nothing.
I had to jumpstart my car this past Monday, and again this morning (Sunday), I was almost certain it was the seat module.
So is it the battery then?

oddly enough I had to change my tail light bulbs recently too,
so I'm guessing that yes it's probably time for a new battery

The seat modules stayed awake overnight when they performed a test. They're not cheap.
211-870-46-26 - $370
211-870-47026 - $370
Total labor & parts $ 1085
Gotta love extended warranty.
