Default Question on DRL (day time running lights) - 03-08-2006 , 06:24 PM






I have a 98 Accord (in Canada) and from time to time my DRL light
comes on when I start the car.

After "flicking" the headlights on and off a few times... it goes
away.

I suspect that the problem is a "relay" that is getting "flakey"...
and was wondering if anyone has had this problem... and how to fix it.

A desciption of where the RELAY is located would be helpful... or any
other thoughts as to what the problem may be....

Thanks

=============================

Same problem exists on '95 - '98 Odyssey. You can remove and resolder
the circuit board of the DRL relay, which is straight up from your gas
pedal and has about 11 wires going into it, or it may be the low cut
relay, which MAY be above the hinge of the brake pedal, on the firewall,
mounted with another relay and isolated with a rubber band around it.
Use a chunk of rubber hose to listen to the relay. Then you know you've
found it. Do you ever get one headlight on, one off?
