ok. i know there have been numerous threads on this subject, and i've read & re-read through them, but i'm stumped!

i'm trying to disable this retarded feature on my '98 LT with no luck.

i couldn't remember what size resistor it was exactly (for my year only) when i went to get it, so i bought the .68, the .82 & the 1K 1W resistor...........none of them worked.

so i figured, well maybe my truck is more retarded than i thought, so i'll try the one for the '99+ trucks (2.2K 1W)..........still no luck!!

and yse, i know which sensor it is that i need to bypass.

any thoughts guys?

i know you've already looked through this, but idk i thought i'd post it up incase you forgot. https://blazerforum.com/forum/showth...le+auto+lights

looks like you need less than 1 ohm

i think you can use a multimeter and check the resistance of the sensor then find one close to it.

yeah, i was thinking about that today @ work. i just need to get my meter back from my brother. i've got to take his truck to the air brushers tomorrow, i'll be sure to check it then.

thanks for the input guys. i wonder if anyone else has run across this before.

well, i was doin' the whole thread thing the other day (giving my input) and remembered that i never gave the solution to my problem.


so here it is.

if you have a '98 truck (applicable to this year only) you'll need a .25 watt 1000 ohm resistor. (or a 1K as it's also known)




WOW!!! just realized it's been almost a year. guess time flies when you're having fun.
