I have a 96SE there is a hole on the dash just to the left and almost to the windshield in front of the sterring wheel. It looks like something plugs in there. it is molded in so it is not aftermarket.
I stuck my finger in it and felt nothing
HUH!!!
cheers,
James

twilight sensor
HAHA ... get to replace the sensor tonight...
your headlight switch will prolly have a lil wierd ****, behind the pull out ****, that twists... its a twilight switch to turn your headlights on when it gets dark and keep them on after the car is killed for up to a minute... the hole is where the sensor goes to tell the computer when its dark out
the sensor alone is gm# 914032 - $55.13, not including tax or the rest of the wiring and connector... but its a nice option to have, i love auto headlights

HMMM
Right now my headlights go on in the daylight or night, I do have the above described switch. I guess the only think I am missing by this is the fact that my lights are on in the daytime.
is there a cover for this?
