Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / August 2007adding daytime running lights to a 2006 stratus
I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus. I need to splice into the high beam wire going to one of the headlights. each light has 3 leads. Which color wire is the one for the high beam? >I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus. I need >to splice into the high beam wire going to one of the headlights. each >light has 3 leads. Which color wire is the one for the high beam? The easy answer is... The one that shows voltage to ground when the high beams are on. In other words... buy yourself a $20 el-cheapo multimeter from Radio Shack and probe the damned connector! Christ, here's a guy who wants to wire in an electrical component and doesn't have the wherewithal to use a damned simple piece of diagnostic equipment to find out which circuit is energized under the desired operating conditions.

If you didn't know the answer to the question, which was what color, not how to test the circut, you should have kept your condescending answer to your self. > I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus. I need > to splice into the high beam wire going to one of the headlights. each > light has 3 leads. Which color wire is the one for the high beam? Cut one and see if the high beam no longer works. When you find the right one, splice your module into it, and splice the others back together. You might get lucky and get it on the first try. Boy, that was hard, huh?

No, that's not hard. What seems to be hard is finding someone who knows what color the high bean wire is. > > I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus.

Which color wire is the one for the high beam? the wire that has juice when you turn on the high beams but has no voltage on low beams is the correct wire. Plan B go to the public Library and get out the wiring diagram for your car. > I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus.

Didn't the module come with insructions (or a web site with instructions)? Personally I wouldn't bother. I've driven bothe DRL equipped cars and non-DRL equipped card over the past 35+ years. People still pulled out in front and I was on the brakes just as often regardless. Made no difference that I could tell. > > I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus.

Made no > difference that I could tell. Thanks for the response. The instructions say to splice into the high beam wire. The wiring schemetics from Haynes show all three wires but give no color codes at all. Drl's are the law in Canada >>> I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus.

I believe for late model Chrysler products, activating the DRL system is a simple programming change. I suggest you go to your friendly Chrysler service man and ask him (nicely) for a photocopy of the page in the Wiring Service manual with the appropriate wiring diagram. Also, be sure to get a copy of the page with the wire colour codes from the front of the Wiring Diagram manual. And yes DRL have been the law an ALL new cars sold in Canada since about December 1990, as the studies here show DRL DO minimize accidents. >> > I want to install an aftermarket drl module to my 2006 stratus.
