Default Twilight Sentinel

Just bought a 02 vert loaded, love the car but I can not turn off the twilight sentinel. Took it back to corvette dealership and mechanic has no clue why it does not turn off. I read the owners manual and it said something about twilight was a option in U.S. but optional in Canada; any ideas?

It cannot be turned off in the DIC on Canadian cars.

Thanks for the info. The original sticker the car was sold to the orgimal owner in Illinois, so it might be a Canadian car.Makes sense.

If your car's speedometer goes up to 300 then you have a Canadian car. A few U.S. car owners have swapped out their instrument cluster to the 300 canadian clusters to muddy the waters a bit. That's the easiest way I can think of to quickly identify your car's origin.

Just pull micro relay #44 to defeat the twilight sentinel on Can. cars. Fuse panel located under the passenger side footwell. Worked fine on my son's '02Z and caused no other problems.

Thanks for the help. I checked the forum and a member suggested to have the dealer use a tech 2 diagnostic tool. It only took him 5 minutes to fix it after that!
