That is exactly what I need. Some type of DIY for this.

Yes, I suppose I can only speak for CA... now I'm doubting myself on whether it was even a question on the test or just something the instructor mentioned...

Techstream can adjust the sensitivity of the "auto" feature from what I've been told, but in this case, why not just cover the light sensor, so it thinks it's night all the time?

You sir.. are genius.

Where's that sensor again? Is it the one connected to rearview mirror?

I've seen a little dot on the dash, driver's side near the windshield defroster vents (similar to the light sensors on the front of smartphones). That might be it

Yeah, that's why I should get paid the big bucks...

One of the round dots near the front windscreen, a piece of cardboard should help you narrow it down.

If I put it on "ON", the car keeps everything on if when I lock the car.

"AUTO" shuts off itself.
