Default Twilight - Off option

I recently bought my 2000 Corvette. I would like to know how to toggle the Twilight option for the headlights. The manual says to use the "Option" button to scroll to "Twilight - Off." However, it only goes to "Twilight - On." I've tried pushing the "Reset" button to toggle between Twilight On and Twilight Off, but it does nothing. The reset button works on all other options, just not for the Twilight option. The problem is, when I start the car in the garage, the headlights come on. When I back out and drive away, sometimes they stay on forever in the daytime. When I first got the car the headlights went off after a few seconds in the daylight. It seems sporadic. Don't know if I have a malfunction or am just not understanding how this works. Any help would be appreciated. Love the car!

Is it a Canadian car? They can't be disabled in the DIC.

On my 2001 ZO6, a Tech II was used to flash the BCM. When the menu asked if it is a Z49 option, just enter no.
Then the twilight sensor can be turned off with the DIC.

There is another way, but it is much more involved - just get it programmed out like above.

I have a 99 with the same problem, not really a problem, i just didn't like not having control over headlights. And yes if they do pop up in garage it is canadian. Any way there is a fuse box on passanger side forward foot well. open box and I'm not 100% sure of the number fuse but it is the either 43 or 44. it is right next to a 15amp fuse. Good Luck

I did this relay removal trick to my 02 Canadian car and it works perfect
