• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Which is not the same thing as the resistor with the heat sink, right? That was unplugged a long time ago.

This thing....

I cut the blue wire and ran it through a switch. Leave the fuse in place; mine buzzed with just the fuse removed too.
 


Yeah that cuts out the DRLs. Have had that for a while, I need the auto headlights disabled as well. Only thing I can find is to replace the daylight sensor with a 470 ohm resistor, mimicking daytime. Either that or unplug what buzzes(probably the bcm itself which, can't do that)
 
Clay and Matt and Kyle were at the place today to get a LIM job done on the Buick. Now it's driving great and will be given to dad in the near future.

Oh, and I brought a tackle box.

We'll never lose a bolt again:

Gotcha now. I tried the resistor method and all I got was headlights on all the time (even when the car was off). I bailed on that and did this:

By removing one wire, you now have park lights that come on via the auto headlights sensor. With no other method to try, this one had to do.
 
The Regal died on me again today. Luckily it was just as soon as I pulled into the driveway this time. It blew another fuel pump fuse.. Replaced the fuse and it runs fine again now. What the hell is wrong with this goofy thing now?

Hmm so the parking lights still come on, which is okay I guess. I wonder why the resistor method didn't work. I may remove the daylight sensor (photocell) and test resistance in the sunlight. Then use the appropriate resistors to mimic the resistance I found and see if that works. I would be puzzled if that still didn't work. But I'll let you know what I find and if that's the case I'll cut the wire and just have auto parking lights. Thanks.
 


Stared blankly and blinked repeatedly at my dashboard as my parking brake light came on every time I turned right...would go out when I hit the brakes...WTF???
