 Instrument panel dimming 2017RTL
Can the instrument panel lites be forced to stay on the low lite mode?

Several on here have asked that question and some of us have tried to come up with a solution including me. I haven't seen where anyone has been successful yet, but I'm onboard if anyone does find a solution.

I have read about folks who have put a piece of black tape over the display where the sensor is. I have no idea where it is nor how successful the attempt was.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

It does work, but I don't remember where the sensor is on the panel. Five minutes work and you should be able to find it.

Worked OK on a less than sunny day, but when the day was bright it didn't work for me. I know where the sensor is on my 2015 RT and I have had the plastic cover off of the gauge panel. I've given some thought to removing the plastic and installing something directly over the sensor. Just haven't done it yet.

Somewhere in the display is a sensor that picks up when it gets dark. Cover it, and you will have the "night" display all the time. Somewhere here, someone knows the exact location. Would you help us?

Seems to be upper part of the tack but dogged if I can see it.
