wody Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) how does this jumper help me with my DRL issue =\ =[ ...i did that but in the forum posted it says put wire in between?? at does that mean? wat kind of wire??... did you or did you not ask what he meant by putting a wire between the two connectors? a "jumper" is a term people use for a wire that bypasses sensors or switches, i thought the picture i posted explained this?

cheo Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 and from the other thread about this exact topic rpss4844 View Member Profile Add as Friend Send Message Find Member's Topics Find Member's Posts Today, 07:14 AM Post #13 SS Newbie Group: Member Posts: 11 Joined: 19-September 07 Member No.: 13215 this is very easy to accomplish. simply remove the radio and remove the ambient light sensor located on top of the dash, it looks like a small opaque dome and will just twist out. once removed unplug the sensor and run a small piece of wire between the two connection points on the plug. tape it all up and just leave in the dash. replace the dome back in the hole if desired so there wont be a small hole in the dash. the result of this will be that the DRL will be on continuos when the truck is in gear. you will have to manually turn on and off the headlights. Mine has been this way for about 6 months and no problems. This post has been edited by rpss4844: Today, 07:16 AM wen u say wire between the two connection points, what kind of wire? and ima jus get the wire and put that in sensor and connect and other end of the wire to the plug??? is that wat you mean>??

NolletSSS Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) It really doesn't matter what kind of wire you use......hell you could just bend a paper clip to fit it.....but don't really...as long as you make an electrical connection. To jumper your sensor for instance you would get inside your dash...unplug the connector that goes to your light sensor...get a piece of wire say an inch long and run it between the two pins in the connector...thats it...all you are doing is bypassing the sensor...you can install the sensor back into the dash just so there is no hole but just remember that it will be doing nothing ***<----Just an example this is not what your light sensor connector looks like. Just showing you what a "jumper" is/looks like*** *reason for edit* Sorry Wody didn't see or read your previous post.....cheo look at this example or the one wody posted (in post #12) and you shouldn't have any more questions Edited May 16, 2008 by NolletSSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
