i was gonna point you in the direction of a thread another Canadian member that listed this info, but i can't find it right now.

maybe NAVANZEE would be so kind to fill us in?..............


well, how about it? i do know that i need a different resistor on my '98, from '99+ they're a little higher resistance (from what i remember).

tell me about it! i always drive with my HL's on anyways, but the Autolight feature is a PITA, royally! i'd like to be able to "flash" my lights on & off to comunicate with other drivers, and not have to resort to using my HB @ night. during the day it's ok, 'cause the DRL's just come on when i switch the HL's on/off-unless it's really overcast.

i've also heard that you can bend on of the pins on the relay under the hood, but again, i can't find the thread i was reading.

 

I have the write up saved on my computer lol. Its easy as hell lol. and I have a 2.2k ohm and I think you need a 680 ohm. I'm quite sure thats what it is.

 

I have a canadian 2004 blazer and i used a 2.2 k ohm resistor . Just take the passenger side dash speaker cover off and unplug the wiring from the sensor and bend the two wires of the resistor into a U shape and stick them into the plug that you unplugged from the sensor, put a piece of tape to hold it in and its done. No more auto headlights

 

yeah, that's the size! all i could remember was that the '99+ trucks needed the 2.2K ohm resistor, but had a total mind fart regarding my own truck, figures!

and drgonzo, i know where the sensor is, i just couldn't remember what size was needed with my odd-ball year. but thanks anyways.

 

I was thinking that if you could find your DRL ( Daytime Running Light ) module & unplug or disable it then you wouldn't have to go out & buy resistors or do other tricks. However, It was around 1990 that Canada made DRL law on all vehicles for safety reasons & so if it is a 1990 or later then these lights must work. Not sure about different laws in the US - Is there any states or counties requiring this ?

 

^^^ ummm.............we're talking about the Autolight feature (as an option) found on some trucks, not the DRL's.

 

It works in both my brother's 1999, and my 2000. And I hate that my DRLs turn off with my turn indicator.

 

really? i've never seen that feature before, must be something special to the Jimmy's.

i think it's a great feature, since it turns off the damn HB bulb so on coming traffic can actually see that you're making a turn (alot of Dodge/Chrysler products have this, as well as some Imports). very useful if you're making a left across traffic.

 

my 98 has auto HL's so the dome override doesnt work, i tried ALOT

 

some of my friends have Blazers. 2 have 99's (One LS and one LT), I have my 2000 LT, and a few with 2001's ( two LS and one LT). Its seems that it is working on all of our LT's...but none of my buddies LS's works....just an observation of mine
