daytime running lights question

[UK Rocks]

Is there a trick to turning the daytime running lights off on my '96?

For a temporary fix, On my 97 they will turn off if I gently push the parking brake one click.

the daytime runnig light module is a little grey box above the e-brake pedal, find the green/black wire from it and cut it and install a toggle switch on it that way you can turn the output on or off (if there are two green/blacks they both go to the same output from the module cut both as they are the same wire)

on certain models of trucks that fuse does more than power the drl module,you could be shutting down more than you thought

I recently purchased a 2004 2500HD 4x4. I noticed the DRL are not coming on, I checked the fuse and it is good. My question is am I missing something on this model, I checked the bulbs and they are good also!

on your truck year all of the drl are done by the bcm,it has been turned off by the dealer or someone with a tek2.so if you want drl's off to the dealer.

On the newer trucks the drl's only come on when the vehicle is in gear

UPDATE!!

Finally had the problem fixed with the DRL's. The service tech at my local dealer ran test and determined that the bulb sockets had overheated and burned out. He replaced both the sockets and bulbs!

Thanks for all the advise!
