I would like to cut the wire that dims the display for the radio so that the display will always stay at its brightness. On my camaro you could do this but cutting the gray wire to the radio. Does anyone know what color wire and where it is?
How hard would it be to get the service manuals on the Sky? Would love to have them.SkyTech said:looking at the wiring scematic for the dimming feature, you might be able to get away with cutting the grey wire from behind the radio. (circuit # 8)
Some offers of help include putting tape over the sensor, but that will only cause the display to dim all the time, I want it to be bright all the time so I have to disable the dimming of the radio display. Circuit 8 out of the radio is the wire I need, however, getting to that wire is difficult unless I can determine exactly where it goes and hope that it is at a place more accessible that directly behind the radio.

As I quote myself, looks like there is a dimmer on the Sol... just not much discussion about it1994SC2 said:So does the Solstice not feature an automatic dimming sensor?
... I didnt see anything on their forum with regards to this (they have quite a headstart so often you can find answers to technical questions there).
what?Robotech said:Looks to me like you have C2-58 coming out of the BCM to the Dimmer switch at point B, feeding through a resistance of 5 Ohms, then returning to the BCM out of point C on C2-26.
Now, I'm assuming the 5 Ohm resistor is scalable by the dimmer switch (thus sending the amount of dimming selected to the logic in the BCM). Skytech, could you not just jump C2-58 and C2-26 to bypass any possible modulation by the dimmer switch?
You take a wire, attach each end of it to the two wires coming into the dimmer switch thus bypassing the dimmer switch and disabling it without cutting wires.1994SC2 said:what?
Now thats my kind of instructions! I also like books that have sounds along the side! I was just giving you a hard time, but thanks for the lay terms.Robotech said:You take a wire, attach each end of it to the two wires coming into the dimmer switch thus bypassing the dimmer switch and disabling it without cutting wires.
And before someone corrects me, I know the 5 Ohm resistance is the dimmer itself but you know what I mean. LOL
