Turbone Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not sure where your box is located on that model, but try looking between the passenger side shock tower and firewall. If you see a silver rectangular box that says "CAUTION-HOT", there will be a connector plug to it. All you need to do is disconnect this to disable the DRL. If its not there it will be inside the car behind the glove box. You will prob need to remove the glove box to get to it. Same thing applies tho, just unplug it.

Gloyale Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just bypass the E-brake handle switch to be "on" all the time. The brake light on the dash will be on, but the DRL's will be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I thought the hot metal item was the transmission dropping resistor... There's a DRL thread on site somewhere, a quick search will turn it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Oh man. Rob is the closest on this. Peek under the dash by the steering column. There should be a box with two plugs going into it, a black one and a white one. The side should say something along the lines of DRL system or Day Time Running Light Control, I can't quite remember. One of the two connectors needs to be unplugged for them to be disabled. Did this on my '04 Outback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans imports Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 we have to unplug them when hunting as its ileagal to hunt in BC with lights on so we unplug the droping resistor on fire wall The big one not small trans one. And done very simple and can be hooked up when we get back to main road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
