Strange thing is happening my 97 Explorer Limited. The daylight running
lights aren't coming on and I have the blue highbeam headlight indicator
lite on the console.
I sure could use some help. Tracking down electrical problems can be a very
expensive thing.
Any help to point me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks in Advance
Jim
DRL modules are a very common problem...... I have yet to be disappointed by
slam dunking a module on one of these repairs - there just isn't any more to
the system...... oh, yeah, the headlights work as expected with the switch,
right???

Hello all. I have a problem with my DRL's now too. Just today, I went to the
underground parking to take my '96 5.0L Explorer out on a couple of errands.
I walked up to it and the lights were on! I hadn't been in it or driven it
in about 5 days previous to this.
After getting inside it, I noticed the high beam indicator was on. The
lights work perfectly when I use the light switch, but the damn DRL's stay
on after I shut in down. I thought I would have to disconnect the battery
everytime I shut it down this weekend ,(we are taking it out of town)but I
found the fuse for the DRL's and pulled it. They are out all the time but
the regular lights still work fine. The fuse was in the power distribution
box under the hood on the driver's side. I checked all the other lights and
acc. and everything seems to be still working fine without that fuse.
I understand that I need to get a DRL module now? Any tips on where it is in
the vehicle?
Any help would be very cool.
