Auto Headlights LS1 Edit
Auto Headlights LS1 Edit Does anyone know if LS1 edit can disable the autoheadlight feature? My problem is that I like autoheadlights, but I want to have control over them with the headlight switch after they come on. Am I asking for to much? I admit I'm lazy and when your out partying turning on the headlights is 1 less thing to worry bout. LOL 
Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit This question came up before recently, and the answer was they don't go through the PCM, this feature has it's own dedicated control circuit. I know what you mean about wanting control over them, but I believe all you can do is disable the feature (not difficult.) I'm sure it would be possible to modifiy the circuit to work that way though if you understand electronics. It is that way in some other cars made by F***. 
Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit Thanx for that info, anyone want to help me solve this problem? Any electronic heads out there that can modify the circuit on the autoheadlights to give you manual control over the lights with out disabling the sensor. Suggestions or ideas appreciated.
Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit If you can get a copy of the circuit diagram, maybe from a shop manual, I could tell you how to modify it. I'm an electrical engineer, but I would have to have the circuit diagram to see how to change it. If all of the connections go into a "black box" it may be easier or even necesary to just design a new controller. Either way, the place to start would be with a circuit diagram, unless you can find someone who has already reverse-engineered the circuit.
Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit Ill save you then time if you havent done it already. If you look on your dash, there will be an area in the middle that is slotted. you have to pull that area up and there will be a little sensor in there. pull that sensor out, and unplug it. then get a peice of wire or something metallic( I used a staple cut in half) and run it between the 2 electrodes that plug into the sensor. then tape it up and remember to turn your headlights on.
Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit FrankSS are you not reading or what ? I know about the crappy mod of disabling the sensor. Read this I like the autoheadlights, I want the ability to have the switch to turn off the lights after they engage. Thats my original question.

Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit This is what you need to do. Disable the autoheadlights. Then figure out how to turn off the lights when the engine is off and then keep them in the on position all the time and turn them off when you want to. This way you won't forget to turn them off... I don't know. I've never had problem with forgetting to turn my lights on.

Re: Auto Headlights LS1 Edit But my solution would work. Just figure our how to cut the power to lights when you turn your engine off. This way you can turn the lights on before the women are working you over, so you can concentrate on other things.
