Default Running Lamps

Hey Vet Friends, Does Anyone Know Why My Running Lamps Don't Come On, When The Key Is Turned On. But They Do Come On When My Headlights Are Up.

And Thanks Alot For The Help.

Check your number 2 fuse under the hood. I have mine pulled to disable the drl's cause they get so hot!

Have they been turned off in the options? There is an option to turn them off. I don't know the sequence, but I'm sure that you can push options and scroll through to find the selection.

It Is Not A Option Like This For A 98 Vet The Running Lights Don't Come On With The Car Turn On. They Only Come On When I Turn My Headlights On.

I am not sure but, I believe if you have your fog lights "on", then when you turn the headlights on only the fogs come on, not the front corner markers...I may be wrong though...

DRLs are not related to the headlight setting.

The DRLs stay off until the emergency brake is released. Once its released and the DRLs come on they stay on until the car is turned off no matter what you do with the emergency brake.

If you want to inhibit DRLs you can either pull the A2 fuse (but you lose part of the approach lights function) or do the relay mod described in the Tech Section.
