Hello only1bill,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with Location Services grayed out.


Please ensure System Preferences are unlocked to make changes: Change Security & Privacy General preferences on Mac - Apple Support


If you can't unlock System Preferences: If you can't unlock settings in System Preferences - Apple Support


If you still have issues, do you have Find My enabled? This being enabled may block turning off Location Services: Set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support


Do you have profiles installed? Use configuration profiles to standardize settings on Mac computers - Apple Support

  1. "On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Profiles.
  2. If you haven’t installed any configuration profiles, Profiles preferences isn’t available."


Cheers.
