Re: Re: Accessory Power when Key is Off

Thanks Roadaxe - I just started to experience this problem and I wasn't looking forward to trobleshooting this. I pulled the fuse to the running lights on my 98 durango (3rd very small 20 amp fuse from the fender) and this shut the lights off - as you said - disconnecting the module works too.

Another friend has had "weird" electrical problems and found that the weather stripping at the front drivers side corner of the front hood was poor and caused unneeded extra moisture/snow to get near the fuse box.

Thanks for the fix!!

So I've just found out, that is not the only way that they can screw up. The problem that I was having was because this modual was leaking power back on to it's signal wire from the accessory power. As soon as I disconnected it everything when back to normal (with the exception of the daytime running lights not working). This modual also controls the blue highbeam indicator on the dash too, so it won't work until the modual is replaced. It's located on the inner driver side fender.

Hope this helps others too...
