DRL how to disable?
Does anyone know how to disable daytime running lights on a 97 olds?
I'd rather use switch to turn lights on and off instead of auto |
Which ones? The DRL's or do you have the Auto lights?

DRL might be as simple as pulling a relay. To disable the auto lights, you essentially have to trick the light sensor into thinking its always light out. Some cars, it's just a straight jumper across the wires, and others require a resistor that mocks the resistance of the sensor in daylight.

The DRL's read here...https://www.gmforum.com/everything-e...lights-292545/
And for the auto headlights, and I forget the value, but you need to pull the photo sensor from the top left of the dash, measure the resistance in full sunlight and use a resistor in equal value. Normally found at RadioShack. |
thanks mike

you may get lucky like i was. i popped my photo sensor out and wrapped the contacts in copper wire. no more auto lights now.

so basically... just cut the wires and wrap bare wire together?
