Can you expand on what kind of resistor ohm value? I can't find any hacks on using a resistor to bypass a ambient light sensor to solve the DLR nuisance

@@sliceolife1999 get a 1.5k ohm, 0.5 watt resistor. Trace the two wires the guy shows in the video and splice the resistor between the two wires

Thanks Robert! Glad I could help.

Good to know a 99 silverado works. Gonna do mine as well.

Awesome!

Mines don’t work

@@meldog88gaming if your ambient lamp sensor is out the 4x trick doesn't work

@@jaybeezy8039 this doesn't work on 99 and some 2000 trucks but the dome override trick for sure works on 01 and 02 trucks

you have to disconnect the battery????

No problem man, glad I could help!

@Trailblazer Dashcam How did you wire the resistpr inline with a switch. Do you have a video for it?

​@@geraldnavarrro8875 ​ I followed this video exactly, all I did differently was add a switch inline before/after the resistor. With the switch OFF/OPEN, AHLs operate normally. With the switch ON/CLOSED, AHLs are disabled.

Did you have to cut any wires when you added the switch?

Turn your key on. Flip your lights on and off 3 times,leave them in the position you want. On bbn or off. You will hear a click.

Did this work on your 99?

PuppetMaster_23 I can confirm this works on 99-07.5 now so yes it will work on your 99! Please be sure to subscribe for more how to and repair videos! Thanks.

@@joethurman2712 wish you would've installed and tested it in the video, to show it actually works.

PuppetMaster_23 he said that if it works, he would post the video. So it must work.

@@asdfgoogle I trust no one, seeing is believing. You should know this or you're dumb as fuck

Glad I could help!

Tired Bum I got a 99 silverado 1500 And this works!

@@kyergilreath2130 it works!🍻🍻🙏

Hey bro can you help me locate the 2 wires you are talking about pm me

@@moraless_h1367 whats your email i have a connectors diagram for it

This is the fix for 99! I pulled middle plug, pulled blue retaining clip off of Row A and pulled A11 from back. Put plug back together and plugged it in. Now all that runs automatically is my running lights, which I dont mind or I would have pulled A5 as well. Thanks for finally putting out a fix Tired Bum!

They’re supped to be on during the day when the headlights are off and it’s in gear assume the automatic feature works and the headlights actually turn off. What I’m planning on doing is getting some aftermarket headlights that have built in led running lights and in the socket that is there for normal running light to be plugged in I will put more amber lights and wire them up to also be blinkers. Then I’ll just get rid of the current wiring for the daytime running lights and make them their own thing as if I was hooking up a led light bar and they’ll have they’re own switch. I’ll also do what this guy says and get rid of the automatic headlights so that they’ll actually turn off.

www.ebay.com/itm/383762383289 If you have a local radio shack I’d try calling them. But you will likely have to order it.

Yes that’s right, and there’s no pos/neg with resistors. 👍🏼

Ben Knapp yes lol it will. Confirmed 99-02

Ty's Truck auto lights, parking & tails. NOT drl

Awesome, thanks!

One resistor. Wrap one end of the resistor around one wire, and the other end around the other wire. Great question.

@@joethurman2712 Man thanks a lot for the quick reply!!!!

Yes, and you should hear a little chime (dinging)

Pressed the dome button 4x and it didn't work for my 04 sierra.

@@geraldnavarrro8875 didn't work on my 99 Silverado either

You have to hop around the car on one leg 1 time, pat yourself on the head 2 times, burp 3 times and THEN press the dome overide bunton 4 times. Good luck! Lol.

David Brinks if I had to guess, nothing would happen.. the pcm needs to read a certain resistance for the lights to not come on.

Yes they do. I just unplugged the bulb in my drl

I actually want mine to stay on. I just got new LED halo projector headlights and it looks badass

dan NEWYORK thanks for the idea for a future video after some research!

Did you have this problem?

In description. It is a (1.5k ohm .5 watt resistor)

@@joethurman2712 does it have to be this exact resistor?

Yes you do, just order it tonight and forget about it while it’s in the mail. Around $5

Should be 100% unrelated. If you moved the seat back it’s possible that the plug under the seat came undone

You probably got into a crash, banged your head and now you have forgotten being in a crash. Just a thought! Lol.

My truck does this. Where my headlights never go off. Can't turn then off either. And I've switched out the switch 3 different times. Still does it

It’s not a bad switch it’s a Canadian truck that’s why you can’t shut them off

@@dustincampbell9529 it’s cause it’s a Canadian truck it’s programmed so you can’t shut them off

@@dustincampbell9529 mine don't turn off cause of the ambient lamp sensor

Alfonso M yes

@@joethurman2712 no

You could've just changed out your ambient light sensor from your dash, they're really easy to replace. Take out your radio and reach in there to unscrew it, replace it and you're done

@@Alex68dash I'm done what? I'm all ears. What would simply exchanging that sensor do? It'll still be there, turning the lights on and off as it is designed. No?

@@johnafagerquist8235 it'll make it so when you're out in the sunlight, your headlights won't automatically turn on when you turn the ignition. It will still be automatic headlights but just now they'll turn on when ever you're in dark lighting conditions

@@Alex68dash Thank you. I see what you're saying. I'm realizing, now, I've been referring to the "running" lights, which come on every time, all the time, when the vehicle is running, and have to be shut off manually; if one can figure out how, as headlights. I don't want any part of my exterior lights to be on, unless I turn them on. Brake lights go on when I press the pedal. I want all other lights to be off until I turn them on. I have a rudimentary understanding of electricity, and can probably direct wire switches to get what I want. I am just sick and tired of all this automatic crap being added to things in the name of intutiveness. I tend to find, the more intuitive they make something, the less likely it will now do what I want it to do, and the more likely it will do something I really don't want it to do. Cheers!

Neil Hoogendoorn lol what the fuck

I can give you 1 perfectly good reason sir. If I'm " parked " somewhere for whatever reason at night and need to keep my vehicles motor operating for the purpose of A/C or heat, why do my headlights need to be on?

@@mauricebrock4233 mine has a switch, you just switch it from auto to manual. Easy.😒

@@neilhoogendoorn8045 That'll work. I had a 98 C1500 and when the parking brake was applied the " DRL" were disabled, not quite sure why GM abandoned that feature.
