No, some people will tell you to disable auto headlights by unplugging one of the connectors at the DRL module behind the radio. Unfortunately, that connector also has other functions such as the parking brake light. Manual transmission cars (both Camaro and Firebird) won't activate the inside hatch release unless the parking brake is engaged so unplugging the DRL module also disables the hatch release. Shorting the sensor wires together merely makes the system think it's daylight all the time so it disables the auto headlights with no side effects.

You might be right...I will check when I go home tonight. I don't remember. I never have to open my hatch with the car running while I'm in the car anyhow but this is an easy thing to do with the way you have suggested, I might just plug mine back in and do it your way.
