    Default Where's the Light Sensor for day/night on 2016 F3T dash?

    Can someone tell me where the light sensor that controls the day/night display of the dashboard resides on a 2016 F3T?

    I like the nighttime display much better and can read it much more easily, even in daylight, so I would like to tape it over if possible to keep the display in night mode.

    Can that be done? And if so, would there be unwanted consequences for spoofing it?

    Thanks.

    .

    Many moons ago a fella on here ( Bob Denman) suggested a small circle ( 3/8" to 1/2") directed by a pencil eraser used in a lighted area and moved slowly will find the sensor on an RT dash. Then a bit of tape and you'll have the orange glow all the time. Costs nothing.

    If my old memory serves me correctly, from another post years ago,
    the sensor is in the left cluster somewhere around the 10 o'clock area.

    I believe the photocell is located approximately where I have it indicated on the picture. Try covering that spot.
