2000 Sierra Headlights
Question:
I believe it works on the trucks built after a certain date. It was apparently not a feature on the original 2000’s. There is some type of cutoff for most GM cars…it’s like an undocumented Microsoft secret… Ken.

Response:
I would thank it works the same as the 98’s. Push the emergency brake pedal down one click and see if they go out? Greg

Neil for this one. http://206.139.32.21/ls1forum/Forum27/HTML/000201.html i have fairly small hands, with good dexterity and it took me about 40 minutes to do this. i went with solution one. you’ll understand when open the page. one trick though…..without removing the dash (like in solution 2) you’ll find it difficult to hold the wire to attach the resister. i used a string, looped around the connector, to apply enough tnesion to the wire as to be able to get my left hand in there and plug in the resister…. just a tip, worked for me !!! good luck GASly Fayetteville, NC Airborne

O.K. I tried pushing the Dome Override switch 4 times within 6 seconds to see if I could get my headlights to turn off, they didn’t. I’ve asked the dealer and GMC and they both said they didn’t know of any headlight override. Does this override only work on Chevrolets or does it work on GMCs too? Thank you, Gabriel
Response:
Here is what I have heard on this…I do not know if it is valid, but perhaps a start anyway…Some people have noticed that it works on their 2000s, some say it does not. Here is how you can tell: If your truck was built in Indiana, (11th digit of VIN is "Z") then your 2000 truck has it. If built in Canada (11th digit is "1") and your truck was built after the beginning of August, then you have it. If built in Michigan (11th digit is "E") after mid-august, then you have it. So if your 2000 truck doesn’t have it, it was probably built in Canada or Michigan and built before the dates I mentioned." I previously owned a 95 GMC Sierra and noticed that it was built in Canada.
