On the daytime running lights...how do I disconnect?
The manual makes a short reference to a DRL relay; but none of the relays at the fuse blocks are marked as such on the boxes or in the manual. The few I could pop out, that weren't obviously needed for operation, didn't shut off the lights.
Ideally, I'd like to rig in a switch to turn them off when desired. I live in the inner city and don't like to draw attention with those lights...they're not needed for safety on streets and I don't like to stand out that way. I can turn them off by pulling up on the parking brake one notch, but the brake drags lightly that way...I don't want them off badly enough to cook the brakes.
Any suggestions?

First thing first in many places it is illegal to disconnect a saftey device such as DRL running lights.
But where there is a will there us usually a way.
Ask your dealer to show you where the fuse and relay is.
Also a good factory service manual should cover the wiring and fuse and relays on it.
If the parking brake switch turns them off that may be a key to your problem.
Good Luck
