I yanked on the high beam stawk to get those going. I let go for a second to confirm that the headlights weren't going to come on by themselves. I then used the manual switch to turn everything back on. Tried this again at home. Everything goes off when you hit the button twice.
What a way to find out that you can override the automatic headlights.

That's pretty funny. Maybe you "should" pull that manual out one day.

I actually pulled it out yesterday. Needed to move it when I got something out of the glove box

2003Silvyrado: There wasn't anything in that e-mail that really required a reply and the past "conversation" was going nowhere and being twisted anyway. I just go into detail in the other thread that you posted in. This way the details are accurate
