How do I replace the SECURITY lamp???
I noticed today that the SECURITY lamp (in the red circle below) on the dash, near the defogger vents does not blink? How do I check/replace this?

Dont feel bad, you're not the first to make that mistake
Its the sensor for the twilight sentinel system. It senses the ambient light conditions and, when low, pops up the headlights and turns the lamps on. You have to have TS activated on the DIC for this system to work (except on canadian cars where its permanently activated).
To check it out make sure TS is on and the car is in bright sunlight. Cover the sensor with your hand and the lights should pop up.

Hey..it's all good. There's been a lot of crazy stuff asked on the Forum but don't be embarrassed a bit. You know what they say about there's no stupid questions here. You probably saved someone else from asking.
