I'd suspect a headlight switch problem next, but before you do that, pull up the defrost trim and disconnect the light sensor. Short the connector and wait approx. 20-30 seconds, and with the car on, see what the headlights do (should turn OFF, DRL ON). Pull the jumper, and give it another half minute, the running lights, headlights, and dash lights should turn ON, DRL OFF.
>>>> Ok, so when I jump the connector, I leave the switch to the OFF position?
Is there any difference between the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and regular headlights? I've looked and it appears that when I switch the headlight switch from OFF to full on, there's no change in which headlamp bulbs light up. Of course I have high beams but you're right, no Flash to Pass feature.
The only thing I don't like about my car? No flash-to-pass. I rigged a relay to flash the DRL-voltage high beams using a panel-mount momentary switch, but its still annoying.[/quote]
Can the car be operated regularly without that dern light sensor hooked up?
Still love the car/model but now wishing that THIS one had the owner's manual. Looks like I'll be surfing the web today to look for one. I've had numerous things with this car that having THAT little book would have saved me posting time on the forum, and you guys, responding time. Stupid stuff like re-setting the "Change Oil Soon" light.
Drove car last night. Had dash lights for almost 2 minutes last night as opposed to just a couple of seconds. Dangdest thing I EVER saw!!
