How do I permanently stop the AutoHeadlights from coming on at startup?
#41
I figured it might be that . . .
ski.dive-
And . . . the DRL function is not controlled by the ambient light sensor on the dash.
The DRL is solely controlled by the BCM. Pulling fuse #39 defeats just the DRL function, which is old news to most of us.
And installing a permanent resistor in place of the ambient light sensor could cause problems with the BCM.
Isn't it easier to just turn the headlight switch to the left and release after you start driving ?

1) The term for the dash mounted sensor is Ambient Light Sensor, that is why a few of us did not recognize your acronym, LDR.
2) The truck could throw a code or some other problem with the BCM if a permanent resistor is installed in place of the ambient light sensor. I am not positive of this, but I am aware of just how sensitive our early Can-bus systems can be on these vehicles.
3) I did watch the video and it certainly looks plausible, but either you or ski.dive should try the modification and report back.
I am not interested in this mod and only ski.dive states he wants to drive in stealth mode, no lights on at night (why?)
It really isn't that difficult to just rotate the light switch counter clock wise after start up
Below are two images from the Schwarttzy service manuals that describes the sensor and its operation

if you put a resistor that is the same as the sensor gives when its broad daylight.
wtf is up with you, giving people advice ant you either dont know antyhing on the subject, or you try and hide knowledge. he just wants to turn lights on via a switch , like in older cars. where is the problem? you think he wants to use the hummer as a murder weapon with headlights off or what lol

if this is true then driving the car only during daylight would cause problems to the BCM also? lol

Not gonna make any friends by over-reacting to some sarcastic humor, take a chill pill and contribute if you can. If not, please keep your ridicule to yourself.

WTF is up with YOU! All of two whole posts and a genius expert on the topic of BCM programming for DLR operation???

instead of someone just telling him to just pull the freakin sensor out and put a wire in its place, it all turns into BCM programming and possible damage to highly advanced electronics and truck blowing up lol. its not NASA, its just an older suv with not so cutting edge technology.
Its the same system as in my 95 pontiac firebird formula. 95 is 24 years lol. 2006 was 13 years ago. its simple and its not a big deal . just tell the guy what to do
I m here mostly for finding information that I cant figure out and am looking for a quick answer, I cant say I enjoy reading a couple pages of jokes and sarcasm and no real info on the subject. Is this a forum abut hummers or a jokes/sarcasm /friendship / OAP s wasting time kind of forum?

The guy wants to know how to disable automatic headlights.

There is a way then,
the sensor is located on the dash, must be pretty easy to disconnect. If the lights still come on, then we need to fin out what voltage it gives in daylight.
If the lights dont come onn if the sensor is diconnected, then you can even add a switch to disable automatic lights when you need to.
Then the daytime running lights might need disabling , so that all lights stay off.
To go full stealth mode lol, PM for tips hahha

If you are here for a quick answer, then get it and move on, and stop posting bs. In the meantime, I still don't understand why anyone would want to override the headlights? I have seen many vehicles driving down the road without their headlights on at dark, I could have wrecked any of them. This feature is for safety of those drivers that can't remember to turn their headlights on at dark! Just imagine how many lives that have been saved with this feature over the years.
