Does anyone know how to turn lights off? Everytime you crank the engine up and put it in gear lights come on even during daylight hours. It's annoying and please help me how to tackle this problem. Any help is most greatly appreciated.

If you mean headlights, then it is normal. It is supposed to work that way. It is a GM safety feature, just like high door sills that don't allow you to hang an arm out the window.
Remind me which vehicles you can't get your arm out of. I have no problem on my 2002 Blazer, or any late model GM I have worked on, although the newest we get at work are 2001 or so. GW

This is a safety feature you moron. They can't be turned off. They are called "daytime running lights". If you actually paid for insurance you should even realize you get a discount for driving a car with this feature.
Hi GW, The trucks, vans, and most suv's are ok. It's the cars that I have arm problems with. I started renting GM's about 4 years ago. That's when I first noticed it. I'm fairly sure it has to do with increased lateral crash protection in a low vehicle.
hmmmmm. We must be different size fellas, cuz I hang my arm out of EVERything and one of my friends had a 92 GA back in the early 93 that I borrowed a few times (military base) and I had no prob. GW
Strange I didn't notice that when I rented a 2003 Grand Prix in April
2003, in Florida......now that I think of it...I LOVed that car....I had previously only been in rental Grand Ams, and the Prix is MUCH more my size..........of course I have had my 1970 GTO since I was 17 years old so I have more expectations in size. ;-) GW
