Hey Y'all...I work in private security and sometimes drive my truck around at night. I also sit in it with the ignition on for some time. I would like to be able to kill the automatic on my 1999 Silverado. I know I can hit the parking brake while I am sitting still, but is there any way to turn them off when I am driving? If it matters, it is the late 1999 body style.

Thank Y'all!

I'm not sure if the wiring is exactly the same for the 99 but it's worth looking into.

 

Now and again, the automatic lights stop working. For example, they came on when I started my truck last night at work, but turned off after I had driven about 1/4 mile. I think it's time for a new switch or something.

In hopefully unrelated news, I have noticed that the light for the window switch goes off when I try to roll down the window or lock the door but comes on a few seconds later.

 

It's really not all that difficult to just purchase a switch, identify your drl and headlight wires by the switch on your dash, and just splice that in. I have a three position switch that I spliced in for my plow that changes the lights, markers, and blinkers to the plow and shuts off the ones on the truck. After I identified whcih wire had whcih function it was smooth sailing.

 

It's plenty difficult when you don't do electrical word and don't know what kind of switch you need. :-) Also, this thing is having some electrical problems as it is, I think. I don't want to add to it by accidentally cutting something I shouldn't with these stupid gorilla hands haha
