Lights won't go off in Park?

[H2mudder]

Any idea how to get the light to go off in the park position or even while driving?
I had a 07 and the lights you could manually shut off, but no I have just purchased a used 2003 H2 with after market Nav and dvds. So wiring must have been messed with.
Anyways, I need to figure out how to get the lights to turn off........like if i am in a driveways and the light are shinning right in someone house and I want to shut them off.......Any ideas?

Any suggestions will help.

Thank you

Yes sir, that should turn them off, but it does not work. That is my problem.

[ROUSHDEMON]

oh wow.... hmmm.
There is no way of telling then, there has got to be a switch or something for them. Try playing around with the computer and tell them to turn off as soon as you turn the engine off, no Delay on them. I dunno.... something has to work. Good luck.

I need a programmer for that....which I don't have

But thanks for your help RoushDemon.

I think the electrical has been all screwed with. I has after market nav and dvds....I think they messed with the wiring. I may bring it to the dealer

Do your steering wheel volume control buttons work?? with the aftermarket DVD/Radio? if they do then there should be a green wire connected somewhere underneath the steering column feeding off of one of the cables that goes up to the steering wheel... Play with that and see if its not connected to the right cable or MAAAAAAAAYBE its connected to a cable that controls the headlights, the devise that makes that aftermarket radio work has its own power source and it might be messing with something its not supposed to, I would even go in the outside fusebox in the engine bay and see if there is no cable in between any fuses as if they're making your DRLs work along with the headlights, might be making a short? I dunno, good luck bro.

Tracy, you got any ideas???

The volume on the steering wheel control buttons do not work!!
I will look at the wiring as you mentioned. You could be on to something.
I'll check it in the morning.

Thanks again roush

Another thing - the daytime running light don't even work as far as I have seen.
I've only owned the truck for a week tomorrow....so just figuring out the tweaks on it.
Could very well be related to the after market NAV

Can't wait to install my MAC CAI and Granitelli MAF w/ CAI tuning...came off my 07
It really helped my 07....even with just a little extra HP, but i had some exhaust, which will be next on my 2003

[ROUSHDEMON]

let me know how that CAI works on your 03.... I wanna see if it makes that much of a difference, i might wanna get one too

[H2mudder]

Just installed the CAI and MAF.

I will check on the wiring next.

Dunno if it works on the H2, but on Chev trucks of certain years, you could kill the drl's by cycling the dome lamp override button on/off five times. (ten pushes) Worth a shot.

[Intercooled]

Just curiouse, why did you go from an 07 to an 03 ?

Own it flat out. I owed 18k for three more years at 7% intrest.

I now own a more dialed in vehicle with 40k more miles, but no car payment.

I liked the 07 alot, but for the money spent I have the same truck, actually better....Matte black and loaded!!

[H2mudder]

Oh yeah, Roush, The CAI and MAF make a good difference in acceleration.

[H2mudder]

Here's the 07.
I did love that one. It was a Lux editiion and 03 is adventure.

But for the money saved......

Tried this, but no luck.

[H2mudder]

Okay, How do I get the DRL on or off and how do i get the headlights off in the daytime. Actually all lights on the vehicle are running during the day.

Drivin me NUTZ!

Anyone have a idea to help me out?

The wiring is just hard to even tell what is what under the steering wheel.

I did play with the CPU and made the lights go off with no delay, but they are running as soon as I turn the engine on.

sounds like you are having a problm with the ambient light sensor on the dash.Make sure it is not covered up or missing. Was the truck ever registered in Canada? If so the drl's cannot be shutoff and someone may have wired the drl's to come on with the headlights.

I think It may have been made in Canada.
It says Canada on the door sticker.

The light sensor is not covered, but the dash is after market carbon fiber with a after market NAV as i mentioned previously in this thread.

The head lights stay on and the DRL's do not ever come on. Obviously a wiring issue.

The question is how do i fix it?

I appreciate the responses.....HUMTECH you sound like you know a lot about the wiring.
Thanks for your comments
