Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2005Daytime Running Lights.....Problems
Hi, I'm writing about a certain problem I have in my car...I guess I have identified that I'm having a probelm with my Daytime Running Light Module.. I read many posts about fixing it..and I guess I'm gonna be doing that very soon...but the question that pops up my mind is that if I take out the DRL Module..and in a certain case I "don't fix it right"...what is the side effect for that...for both having the module out (will i be able to run my car)..and if the module is now faultier...does that mean only my high beam lights won't work.. now in a similarly related problem...when I first diagnosed the problem..my high beams didn't work for a while...but now they are running..couple days ago I noticed that my passenger side low beam light is not operating...is it possible that it could be related to the DRL module? or that the light bulb is faulty and needs to be replaced... I have a 1996 Honda Accord (Canadian Model)...and it's really a pain reaching the light bulb to change it on the passenger side...beside the radiator "reserve" tank...I have something else .. it's like a empty pipe..that is bended..and it's open on one end..not sure what is it...it's very close to the battery..and it comes between it and the light bulb..so not sure what it is or how to take it out in order to change the light bulb...(trying not to spend around $40 to change the bulb)... any comments would be highly appreciated, Freddy > I read many posts about fixing it..and I guess I'm gonna be doing that > very soon...but the question that pops up my mind is that if I take out > the DRL Module..and in a certain case I "don't fix it right"...what is > the side effect for that...for both having the module out (will i be > able to run my car)..and if the module is now faultier...does that mean > only my high beam lights won't work.. If you remove the 'DRL Module', your fog lights, high beams and regular head lights will not work. > I have a 1996 Honda Accord (Canadian Model)...and it's really a pain > reaching the light bulb to change it on the passenger side...beside the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > change the light bulb...(trying not to spend around $40 to change the > bulb)... That hose is the overflow drain. If your overflow tank fills up, the coolant runs out the hose onto the ground. At least that's the hose I'm assuming you are talking about. Steve Only the high beams will stop working, the regular lights will work. I had the module fail on my 94 Vigor, which has mostly similar setup as an Accord of the same generation, and the high beam were gone. >> I read many posts about fixing it..and I guess I'm gonna be doing that >> very soon...but the question that pops up my mind is that if I take out [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Steve > Only the high beams will stop working, the regular lights will work.

A failing DRL module and removing the DRL module are two different situations. I made my post after reading over the wiring diagrams and it appeared as though all the wires for the front lights (excluding marker and signal) go through the DRL Module. So I will look over the diagram again, but for now I stand by my statement that the all the front lights will not work if you remove the DRL module from this particular vehicle.

Steve I believe it would be a major safety issue if the main headlights stopped functionning! >>> Only the high beams will stop working, the regular lights will work.

Yes it would, what's your point. > I believe it would be a major safety issue if the main headlights stopped > functionning! ------------------------ The power to the main beam headlights just goes 'across' the DRL board. If you unplug the board, all headlights will be dead (at least on a '95 Odyssey). The average user wasn't expected to be unplugging the module. It's not a big safety concern. Kinda like unbolting the steering wheel :-) 'Curly' |
