I was wondering if I can bypass the ambient light sensor to prevent my lights turning on by themselves. I go to a campground in the summer months and it's quite annoying to not be able to use just the parking lights. Any ideas ?

For the 2000 models, you should be able to push the interior light switch off/on 4 times, and the auto headlights will be disabled until you turn the key off.

The 1-ohm resistor is what is used by GM to disable the autolamps on the police package vehicles but to be honest; either resistor will work just fine.

Thanx again for the reply.
I tried to get to it but it's one heck of a job. I had the radio out, 75% of the dash off, and, I still couldn't get to it.
Any and all suggestions will REALLY be appreciated....

Oh now that's the hard part, I don't mean to discourage you but the service manual says that Step #1 is to disassemble the vehicle then replace the ambient light sensor and reassemble the truck.

LOL - That's pretty funny...
I'll try and trace the wire somehow and go from there. If not, well, maybe I'll take apart the truck on a rainy weekend.
Thanx for all your help. I'll post again when I try it....
