1997 Grand Am 3.1L V6
101,100 miles

This is by far no major problem. But my Grand Am has running Day lights. It's not the headlights, rather it looks as though when I put it in drive or reverse the highbeam lights turn on. And whenever the outside lighting reaches a certain point, the highs will turn off and the headlights will automaticly turn on.

I don't mind the running day lights, but is there anyway I can stop the auto headlights from turning on? Sometimes they turn on in the middle of the day when it's totally bright outside, and they wont turn off until I turn off the car. Like I said, its no major problem, but I would like to have some control of when my headlights are on.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th
And Thanks All

how do you make post????

I would check to make sure that the daylight sensor is not being covered some how. Normally it's located in the middle of the dashboard either right on top or just under the defroster vents by the windshield. Unfortunetly I'm not familiar on where it is with this year G/A.

However If I'm not mistaken the the daytime running lights on the 96-98 g/a's used the highbeams at a lower voltage. for controlling the headlights you can only turn them on manually.
