Is there a way to shut off the lights with the vehicle still on? Some type of button sequence or something. I have an '03 ZR2

You might try to engage your parking brake I know my dads 2000 s10 works like that.

My dads s10 is a 5 speed, I don't think it matters if it engages the brake their would possibly be a sensor to detect when the ebrake pedal is pushed and turn the lights off.

I asked a similar question, my lights only go off if the truck is off....told 2 things ... 1) push dome button twice (tried a lot of different ways with this nothing worked).... 2) disconnect the sensor (right dash speaker grill..that little nub) and wire in a 2.2k ..1/2 watt resistor...(gonna try it tomorrow)... hope this helps scott............... update: the sensor is for the auto headlights not daytime running..found another post about bending a lead of one of the fuses in the engine compartment..it worked no more daytime running lights.

in my 03 s10/.. if you press the dome light very fast you can turn off daytime runing lights.. it takes a coupla tries to get it figured out. yours should be off in neutral if you either do ebrake or or switch trick...

The dome override trick doesn't work on trucks that were manufactured for sale in Canada.
