Where is the DRL module and relay located in a 2002 honda civic DX? > Where is the DRL module and relay located in a 2002 honda civic DX? I don't know where for sure, but one possible location is under the dash on the driver's side. Are you trying to replace it, and if so, why? > > Where is the DRL module and relay located in a 2002 honda civic DX? > > I don't know where for sure, but one possible location is under the dash on > the driver's side. Are you trying to replace it, and if so, why? my car seems to have an electrical problem. I get a buzzing noise when I start the car. The daylight driving light does not work, but when I turn on the headlights the buzzing noise goes away. I changed the bulb and the noise has not gone way. Also when the headlights are off and the buzzing sound is buzzing the DRL light is on in my dash. I am assuming it is the DRL module or relay. I'm not sure if I shoudl tackle this myself or take it to a shop to get fixed. I am hearing that it is an easy fix, but I don't even know where these are located. >> > Where is the DRL module and relay located in a 2002 honda civic DX? >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > tackle this myself or take it to a shop to get fixed.

They are all under the dash to the left of the steering column: 1) Low-beam cut relay 2) DRL Relay 3) DRL Control Unit (bigger than the others) Are your DRLs no longer working? That's usually the low-beam cut relay. Look for a relay with the wires RED/BLK, RED/YEL, RED/WHT, RED/BLU. It's joined together with the DRL relay, which is the same size but has different wire colors. There are input tests you can do to the relays to confirm functionality.

I had very similar symptoms with my 2004 Civic LX recently. But instead of a buzz, it was a fast tick; and it went away with the headlights turned on. If it is the alternator, I strongly suggest to get the battery checked at the same time especially if it is the original.

Hi guys. I recently acquired a used '01 Civic, and I think that car suffers from a series of very similar symptoms... - DRL lit on dashboard - DRL sign turns off when headlights are switched on (whether high or low beams) - Blown DRL 10A fuse - Upon DRL fuse replacement, noise coming from the glove compartment area - Changed gray DRL relay (RC-5102); no change, same buzzing noise - Took off the DRL module from under the bottom left of the dash. Took it apart to inspect all solderings. No clear evidence of a cold one, but nonetheless re-soldered a few that didn't look as good as the others. Put everything back into place: same exact scenario. - Decided to inspect the right headlight bulb: to my surprise, the high beam wire was cut and the bulb itself was cracked in its forward portion. Went back to Canadian Tire (for the 3rd time today!) and bought a new bulb. Replaced it, and I still have the exact same problem!! I did notice though that the high beam is definitely linked to this problem, since even when the headlights are off, simply having the high beams on (by pressing the steering-mounted lever) turns off both the buzzing sound and DRL sign. Now that I've exhausted all of what I could try today, I'm turning to you guys; maybe someone could shed some light into this (no pun intended!!) Thanks in advance. > I did notice though that the high beam is definitely linked to this > problem, since even when the headlights are off, simply having the > high beams on (by pressing the steering-mounted lever) turns off both > the buzzing sound and DRL sign.

SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Could somebody please let me know where the low beam cut relay i present in Honda Civic 2002? I opened the DRL relay unit and the PCB seems fine, no loose joints. am not able to locate the low beam cut relay under the dash. Thanks, J -- joseph Found the low beam cut relay, in 2002 Civic, it is located behind th glove compartment. The glove compartment has to be dismantled and th grey colored relay is the low beam cut relay -- joseph > On 4 nov, 21:47, Eternal Searcher <eternalsearc...@yahoo.ca.invalid> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > could try today, I'm turning to you guys; maybe someone could shed > some light into this (no pun intended!!) Thanks in advance. Did you even read my post that you directly responded to? If your fixes did not cure the problem, it's likely the alternator. It seems to be a fairly common problem on this version of Civic. > Did you even read my post that you directly responded to? If your fixes did > not cure the problem, it's likely the alternator.

The brushes are a common wear item, occasionally one or more of the 6 diodes will fail, usually all 6 are part of one assembly. >> Did you even read my post that you directly responded to?

When the same thing happened with my 2004 Civic, the whole alternator was replaced under warranty. In fact, the diagnosis as indicated on the invoice said "internal failure". I don't know if worn brushes would have been the cause, especially this soon. >>> Did you even read my post that you directly responded to?

Some electronics deal with that a lot better than others.

Accessible from under the dash. Usually you need to remove the plastic knee bolster under the steering column ( a few bolts and clips). Get under there with a flashlight and look for yourself.
