disabling automatic headlights on C5?

[Blorton]

Is this possible within hptuner? The current workaround is to replace the light sensor in the dash with a resistor, but I'd much rather do a more elegant and easily reversible fix in software.

Thanks!

On my 2002 C5 I can disable automatic headlights.You go to options on the dash and push on the options button and when you come to automatic headlights you turn it off on the display.
What year C5 do you have?

Thanks for the response. I'm in a 00 FRC. My DIC doesn't allow that option to be changed.

(Edit: Thanks anyway - it's a Canadian car. It's a regulation in the great white north, I reckon. )

Yup. Unfortunately Canadians don't have the Twilight Sentinal "OFF" option thanks to the Candadian gov't.

I was able to set up the BCM with a tech II to disable the auto headlamps. The Canadian option is Z49, so when setting up the BCM, say no to this option. Now I can disable the auto headlamps with the DIC like a USA car.

If all else fails, just remove the #44 relay from the instrument fuse panel.

AHA! I knew a Canadian would have the proper method!
