2002 overhead console wiring question

I'd like to disable the dimming feature when the Headlights are turned on.. has anyone done this, if so, which pin or wire is the sense lead? I cannot see the display during the day because I run daylights and it dims.. thanks.. 2002 F-250 SD

I believe it was light blue with red stripe. Open the passenger side kick panel and find the harness going up the pillar to the console. See if you can find that color.

Mine is an '06, so I'm not sure it is the same, but a good chance it is.

No problem. In case you aren't aware, all you need to do is snip off the sensor wire. The display defaults to high intensity when it isn't connected to the sensor lead.

Sorry for the

It's too bad I can't do that with mine. The data center is in the cluster.
If anyone ever comes up with a way to keep the display bright I'm all ears.

Go here and ask Kurt Kranc to find you one
I got mine from him and he is a good guy to work with.
Tell him Sean sent you. I have the 06. He should know the truck
if you tell him the 2006 F350 PowerStroke Amarillo Edition
