My 96 Explorer has a new problem where the Daytime running lights stay on all the time,even when the keys are romoved from the ignition. I have pulled the fuse so my battery doesn't drain bit I would like a better solution.
Any Ideas would be appreciated.You can E-mail me at pinhunter@hotmail.com

 

If you can turn the DRL's off by engaging the parking brake it's probably a bad DRL module.

 

Applying the Emergency Brake does not turn the DRL's off???????

The only wiring diagram I have is for a 97 & i'm guessing yours works the same way. On the 97 applying the emergency brake grounds a pin on the DRL module & shuts the lights off. Since that isnt happening, my guess would be that the DRL module is bad. If this was mine, i'd replace it.
On a 97 the DRL module is behind the drivers side headlight. Try tapping on it with a screwdriver & see if the lights go off.

 

Thanks for all your help I will try it

 

Good luck with it.
