3800 Whats Up Everyone

[Jwood416]

Hey everbody, this is my first time on this board but I have been on the GTP World board for a while now. Anyway I am trying to find some GTP owners in my area and I was referred to ILCGP. I'm 18 and just graduated from Riverton, I still live there so I'm just a few minutes out of Springfield. I'm getting ready to work this summer and start modding my GTP and maybe save a little money for college at IC in the fall. To my actual question though, I am wondering if anyone knows how to disable the twilight sentinel on an '03 GP.

Welcome to the boards......if your car is a 2003 its Galaxy Silver, not Silvermist.....just lettin ya know.......as far as the twilight sentinel.....i dont even know what that is, sorry

Alright well thanks for that, anyway it's the system that turns the lights on automatically when it gets dark. There is a photocell but I can't find it to unplug it and I don't know if I have the right relay to wire in the switch to bypass it and I can't find a fuse labeled for it. So I'm kinda stuck with the lights on and that makes it hard to go to my girlfriend's when I'm not supposed to be there.

Since it was changed in 2001, Im not sure how to disable the auto headlights and DRLs. I do know however that if you turn your light switch inbetween the parking and headlight positions, the headlights will go off, but the corners and fogs will be on. You can also turn your fogs off as well.

Ohh yeah.
:welcome:

Yeah I got those DRLs taken care of first thing, but thanks for the fix Fish, it will work good enough for me to pick up my girlfriend without getting caught.

To disable the auto headlight, open up the small panel near the windshield in the center of the dash. I carefully use a small flat head screwdriver.

remove the sensor. It will be goldish looking. in its place, put a 470 ohm resistor. This will emulate daytime all the time. put the panel back.

To do the DRL's, open your driver side door, and then remove the small access panel on the dash. remove the wire connector going to the diode. The diode is easy to spot.. it has a large metal heatsink on it.

let me know if you need any help.

The thing that screws with me is that I unplugged that sensor's harness and covered it with my hand and it still turned the lights on, so would putting the resitor in even work?
