Canada DRL always on

PeachyZ · 03-27-2020, 04:53 PM

I saw a thread about this back in 2015 but there was no solution posted. My Z was imported from Vancouver BC a while back and my headlights are always on. They turn on from the moment I shift into first and turn on when I turn the engine off. Is there any way to bypass this? Sometimes I don’t want to have my lights constantly on especially if I’m parked with the car on.

Have you tried the off position?

If nobody comes up with an answer, there are wiring diagrams, etc in the FSM. Link in my sig.

Yes, I guess Canada requires to have all cars’ headlights to be on at all times. And since my car was previously owned in Canada, it has this feature equipped. I’ve heard I can get my ECU flashed. When I go to my tuner in a few weeks, I’ll ask him.

if parked, try pulling the handbrake, if only DRL are on it should turn them off

I just tried that and unfortunately the lights still stay on. I have to turn my car off and back on (without putting it into gear) if I want the lights to turn off again.
