Day time running lights

[96Z26]

Hey guys,

 Is there a way to take and disable the day time and auto light system on these cars? ....fuse, relay,?

Thanks on any info!

There is a box just behind the HVAC controls.

That controls the DRL's

OR you could just pull up your parking brake one notch.

But either way, it's a dumb thing to do.

Thanks for the info.

I know it's not a good ideal but, something is wrong with the sensor or something....the ligths come on and off at any given time

Is there a relay in the under dash or grill that relays to the  DRL's control box that it gets dark or dusk out?

It's the twilight sensor which is located in the defrost grill on the top of the dashboard.

They get dirt and dust in them, and trigger the headlights at odd times.

In fact even the shade from the wiper arm can be enough to trigger it.

My '92 (Canadian Spec) has been crazy for years, but there is no harm done.

You can try getting a vacuum cleaner and see if you can get some of the crud out.

Ok,  Thanks!

Hey that sounds like a good idea. I had a 93 Corsica that did'nt have any DRL's and i could crusie around town town at dusk with only the parking lights on but with my Beretta i can't do that cuz of those whacked out DRL's coming on when it's put in gear.
