Headlights Always On

[Blind Prophet]

Hey guys. Not sure what is going on here. I have an 02 tahoe. Whenever the engine is running they headlights are on. This is the first vehicle I have had with DRL so I don't know if there is an issue with them, or some sensor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nope they are supposed to come on and stay on I know on the older trucks there is a way to cut them off , On the OBS models you can press the parking brake down like an inch or 2 and they will cut off without any safety issues of the rear locking up while braking on the newer trucks I'm not sure someone with more knowledge will chime in

I know the older ones did this. Mine has a separate bulb for daytime running lights. I will try the parking brake Rick but I would like to get everything working as it should. Thanks for the tip

I would imagine your sensor on the dash is bad and thinks it is dark out at all times.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

either the sensor is bad or you bought the wrong dash mat for your vehicle and the sensor is covered

You can also press dome override button 4 times to cut off headlamps

El Capitan: I didn't know that trick; thanks for mentioning it. Does it do it permanently or just for that one time until you turn the engine off?

Just from key cycle to key cycle it gets annoying but it works, i do it to run my park lamps and fog lamps on the track.

It was the sensor. Got one on eBay and took about 15 minutes to put in. Thanks guys
