LTZ_HOE

Any idea how to disable the sensor that turns on the lowbeams to a 07 tahoe? Any information would help greatly.

My most radical thought would be to simply unplug it at the sensor (or just remove the sensor completely.

Where would the sensor be located?

It's that little greyish dome in the center of the dash where the dash meets the windshield.

Any idea on how to disable that without ripping up my dash board? Do you know if there is a fuse I can pull instead?

Why do you want to disable?

Because I have a set of HIDs that I don't want to burn out. I want to be able to turn on my headlights manually.

According to the Tahoe manual (page 209)...

Turn the control to this position to turn
off the automatic headlamps and daytime
running lamps (DRL). Turning the headlamp
control to the off position again will turn the
automatic headlamps or DRL back on.

Now last time I checked, the off switch is a momentary switch...

Here's the link to the manual: www.mygmlink.com/pdf/go2content/manual/US/en/chevrolet/2007tahoe.pdf

the problem with doin this is like u said it momentary switch so u have to do this everytime u get into the truck, which is a pain... are you sure the ball in the center of the dash is the sensor. i thought it might have been the built in compass...

get the top of the dash apart is easy...u need to pop 6 clips and it will come right off...i would use a plastic panel popper to get it off though this way there is less chance of you scratching the dash...
