How to override your Dome Light setting

[OldSchool73]

Not sure if this applies to all 2007-2014 Tahoes, but I just figured out how the dome light override feature works in the 2012 PPV. I did a video on it (link below) for anyone who was like me and did not know this. It’s sort of hidden in plain sight if you ask me. I feel kinda dumb that I rode around for about a month without the dome lights working and didn’t figure it out on my own. DOH!!!!

I recommend that you adjust your tread title to something like, "How to Override Your Dome Light Setting", so that viewers will see your thread as an instructional/informational thread, and not an issue thread looking for a solution.

Not everyone reads things around here...me included. Took me a while to find it...just used the round dome light with the red or white leds the upfitter installed until then.

people in general do not, not just around here....
It boggles my mind. Even though I am admittedly part idiot, I get caught off guard sometimes

I didn’t really think the section at the top of the control was intended to be pressed. I thought it was a label that corresponded to the dial/knob. Not the actual plastic piece above the knob. That’s where I was confused. But had I opened up the manual I could have solved my confusion.

when you get the next gen they really throw you for a loop and move the control to the roof console
along with a led light (like a booklight) that never goes out while the key is on. the fix is to unplug it.

What? I love my little night light. Puts just the right amount of light straight down to find things with out having to turn on a map light.

unplugged that thing years ago, same on the wife's rig
can't sleep with the lights on

it might be worth noting I grew with a blind man, learned a few things.
my kids can't seem to do anything without the lights on, you don't need the lights on....
