2003 RDV CX Model / turn off it auto lights???
Bought a new (new to me) 2003 RDV FWD CX Model 4 weeks ago and it runs great. It's the basic model (re: no Advanced Insturment panel, no GPS, no roof rack, etc. etc.) but it does have auto locks, power windows and auto "when dark outside" lights and front fog lights.
I "tried" to read its manual several times and its subjects bounce all over the place. Too small of print and too much jumping around to different pages for my liking.
My question is... How do I disable the auto front lights when I exit my vehicle in the dark?? I don't mind its interior light but its auto front driving lights shine directly into our bay window - where my wife is. When I turn its ignition key OFF, I would like its front (and external running lights) to turn off as well. Back to the basics of how a normal vehicle should behave. LOL!!!!
In simple bullets, how do I disable this "auto front lights on exit" feature on my 2003 RDV CX "basic unit"?
Many thanks.

To view what the dash in my 2003 RDV CX looks like, surf:

Select dash picture in its top right corner of its photo blocks. Once selected, you can zoom in/out or pan around the dash area. This is exactly what my 2003 RDV dash looks like.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

In the manual, I found the programming on its page 2-46 and it goes to page 2-51. This section is for programming a RDV without a DIC.
Every time I read that section, I feel like David H on that old Night Rider TV Show, who's always playing with the buttons in his KITT car. Sure wish they made things more simpler these days. Perhaps if I ask my 12 year old son to program it, he'll figure it out. After all, he fixes our home computer all the time. Especially when it comes to building Web Pages. Adn he changes both clocks in our vehicles when our Time Zone changes. LOL!!!!
Wish me (wish us) luck re-programming "without a DIC system"!!!! Sure wish they made things simpler these days...
