Noticing lately that the headlight dial is moving just slightly from Auto to On by itself.

Or more accurately from auto to almost On.

I have had to move to Auto again.

Probably slightly bumping switch upon entering or exiting Jeep. I’ve done that a few times.

Agreed. Accidentally bumping the switch upon exit/entry is by far the most likely cause here.

My wifr has a Mini Cooper and the switch is almost the same - and it gets bumped just the same.

Funny mine keeps moving to off! And I never touch it to turn it off.

I know it’s getting bumped but I have not caught myself doing it yet!

I'd have to be about 7'10" tall in order to bump that with my knee while getting in. And I know I am not hitting it with my left hand.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya, a real conspiracy!

Initially I thought mine kept moving too, until one day I noticed I touched it with my knee!

It’s your knee. I’m 5’7 and I do it from time to time. It’s at the right angle to graze it if you aren’t paying attention.
