How do you shut off the DRL's on a 02 TA?
I was just wondering how to shut off the DRL's on on 2002 Trans am? I've tried just taking the bulbs out, but then my turn signals don't flash when turned on, and I'm afraid that I might burn out a fuse that way.

I don't know for sure if it's exactly the same as it was on my '97Z, but if you look on your dash you'll see a little round sensor. Pry up the dash under that sensor and unplug it. Then, fold a paperclip into a horseshoe shape and insert one end into each hole in the plug for the sensor, this will make it think it's daylight all the time and you'll have control over your lights.
Good Luck!

the TA's do not have them b/c of the popup headlights. He's talking about disabling the actualy outside lights. But sorry, dunno how to do it...ask Brent, he has the answer to everything ------------------

From the F-body FAQ:
Q: How can I disable my daytime running lights and ambient light sensor?
A: First, gentlty pry off the plastic plate covering the climate controls and stereo. Next, remove the wire cluster(s) from the light and/or convertible top switch (if applicable) so you can get the plastic plate totally out of the way. Then remove the stereo deck with a 7mm socket. You can let it hang and rest on the seat or remove the wire cluster from the back to completely remove it. If you look directly behind where the stereo deck was mounted, you will see a small black box with two wire clusters attatched to the top of it. This is the daytime running light (DRL)/ambient light sensor module. Remove the module from the back of the vent where it's mounted by pulling up and out. Upon inspecting the two wire clusters connected to the module, you will notice one wire cluster on the right is larger and has a black connecting piece, and the one on the left is the smaller wire cluster and has a blue connecting piece. Pull out the smaller wire cluster with the blue connecting piece (you can tape it to the wire or just let it hang). Finally, snap in the module back in place and reasemble your dash board.
It's important not to remove the large wire cluster (black connecting piece) or the whole module itself, as it controls the turn signals as well.

I did it by jumping a set of wires on the DRL module behind the stereo...
Then again I have a Camaro, don't know if it's a little different for you.
I have instructions on one of my website pages... along with some other little electric mods I have done.
