Tutorial, How to repair and re solder the daytime running light module and check your tsn relay when theres no lights on dash or markers or tailight lamps
youre the only video out of hundreds that addressed this. both my dimmer lights and my tail lights are out, ever since i put an absent daytime running lights fuse back in the truck... sure i have highbeams again, but those others are out... been driving me crazy, cant see how fast im going at night, and now people cant see me. so makes sense that the DTRLs something is the problem. thought it might be a ground issue but theres been no work done that could have messed with the grounding. I'm gonna inspect this tomorrow when the suns back out, and update here... my guess is this is exactly my problem. thank you!
I have a 2009 Chev Cobalt that when you turn on onle the "parking lights" the dash lights and none of the back or front parking lights are lit. When you turn the "Headlights" on all come on ,dash lights and all outside lights. I checked the fuse first and all ok so i ordered a "single multiple function switch" on the left side of the steering wheel. I got it from Amazon and two day later took about 10 mins to replace. So forabout $25 and no labor cost all works as it should. Hope this helps someone.
My spectras ignition key seems to activate Dash lights and glove box light when inserted. My key is over 15 years old and a bit worn. When the Car is cold the lights work and when warm the lights stop working. I plan to get a new key and see if this helps. Anyone have experiece about this?
(Anyone) Any pointers for a 2004 Kia Rio Cinco whose dashboard/illumination and running lamps (front side orange ones and rear red tail lights) won't turn off??? So far I've checked the fuses, relays and have removed and cleaned the the combination switch. The one part I wasn't able to check on was the turn signal stem which also turns on and off the headlights (is it possible that it is the culprit - that it may be fused in an ON position, even when turning off the lights???) In any event, this vehicle is not a Canadian version, so I don't think it has the daytime running lights issue (but will check while waiting on a response). So basically, the dash and running lights are stuck in an always on position - and I can't figure out what component is to blame. Thanks in advance!
Yes, the stem could certainly be the culprit. If the headlights are coming off and on with the switch buy the parking lights "first position" are staying illuminated. I'd check the switch. Unfortunately Kias don't get as much attention as they represent a much smaller portion of the market, so sometimes you have to do some investigation yourself. But with uncommanded power to the lights, the switch is a logical place to look
With my 2001 Acura Integra LS, my running lights have stopped working. The highbeams, lowbeams, blinkers, hazards, brake, and reverse lights work perfectly fine, its only the running lights that are out. Anything helps with what could be wrong/suggestions of what I could do to fix it
@@Ducknell try clean the turn signal switch terminal. On my 93 civic I’m about to try that and see if it helps. It’s 30 years old so I’m sure it’s tired. Might just buy a whole new switch.
Well, if it's a Canadian car, you should have daytime running lights working. If it's a Canadian car or any car that uses a daytime running light relay I would check there . If you live where daytime running lights are optional. And you have absolutely no headlights tail lights or interior lights on the dash that could be an issue with the headlight switch itself that commands all those lights to come on and off when you turn the switch on.
I believe the Acuras and ho das have a drl module under the steering column and I know the the 2001 plus had the same issues with bad solder. Worth checking. Hope this helps.
