I can see the same brightness (or dimness) of the DIC, when the parking lights are on (when the sensor is not controlling the DIC brightness), as to when I turn the parking lights off (sensor now controlling the DIC brightness), when I shine a bright light onto the sensor for several seconds.
In other words, if it was a sensor "range" issue, I would expect to see a brighter DIC when the parking lights are on (when the sensor is not controlling the brightness).
I can not see any difference, so something else is limiting the DIC brightness.
Has to be something common to both modes of controlling the DIC brightness.
Thanks,
Plasticman

Obtain a multimeter and find the IPC FUSE. On top of each fuse are two test points. Use the DC Volt meter to read each one those test points to chassis ground. Engine Off/Key ON, you should see full battery voltage. on each test point. Remove the fuse and inspect the fuse spade lugs and fuse for damage/corrosion.
Please report findings.

I view the HUD as "COOL" but not very useful since I'm not tracking my car and when I want to get on it (rarely), I've got that BIG Tack to keep an eye on.
I will probably not rip the whole dash apart to fix something I rarely use. I'm always disappointed in the cheap lousy electronics GM puts in these cars.
But I think it's different today in C8's.
