Day time running light
 

99 dodge ram. how do you get the day time running light to stop going on. everytime the key is on the head lights come on. how do you get them from coming on.

I've never even heard of this, I knew it was possible on the 3rd gens but not the 2nd gen.... :humm:

Ok, heres what I found... DTRL come standard on Canadian trucks as it is a law up there. So how it got on your truck down here? :humm: Anyways they say you can push the ebrake pedal one click so the brake is not applied but the light is lit on the dash which disables the DTRL. Or you can simply unplug the module located on the drivers side inner fender,and they will no longer work,and headlamp operation is unaffected.You could also run a toggle switch from ground to the parking brake switch which will turn them off when you wish so you don't have to push the pedal (although the brake light will stay on). Hope this helps.... :ok1:

mine does it too and i want them gone. as far as i know mine was made in mexico

Right it doesn't matter where the truck was made, just where it was going to end up like Canada wheres its a law to have that option. :pca1: Welcome to DieselBombers by the way!

Thanks I just inpluged them. thay went out

No prob man, glad I could help! :c: I learned something new myself!

That's odd...I didn't think any trucks had DRL's in the US.

I have had the same problem with the DTRL...the only thing is that now that i have unpluged the wire from the moduel the bright lights will not come on now....the regular lights will come on when turned on but the brights.....:argh::argh: Any sugestions......

Yes, Im pretty sure lil dog has the answer for this. I believe its as simple as a jumper wire. If he doenst answer this - I will PM him.

So its looks to be just as simple as a jumper - this is on a 97.

Aight heres what i found out...i did unplug the module and come to find out when you unplug it, the bright light sign on the inside of your truck dash doesnt come on or show that they are on but they really are so:argh:
