One of the most common problems people experience with their cars is that the dashboard lights turn off when the car is turned off. This can be really frustrating, especially if you’re trying to drive in the dark. But don’t worry, there’s a solution!
What is a dashboard light and why does it stay on when the car is off?
Dashboard lights are warning signals on a car’s dashboard. When the car is off, these lights usually stay on to let the driver know that the car is not in operation.
How to disable dashboard lights on a car
Disabling dashboard lights on a car can be done in a few easy steps. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver and a couple of minutes.
There are two screws that hold the light cover in place. Remove these screws and set them aside. Next, remove the light cover. There are three Phillips screws on the back of the light cover that need to be removed. Once these screws are removed, the light cover can be lifted up and off of the dashboard.
Now that the light cover is off, you can see the two LED lights that are responsible for keeping the dashboard lights on when the car is off. The first LED light is located near the steering wheel, and the second LED is located near the gear shift. To disable either of these LEDs, simply unscrew it from its mount and replace it with a wire connector. Then reattach the LED to its mount and screw it back into place.
You’re now finished disabling the dashboard lights on your car!
