O.K.thanks Dennis! I read the article and it makes sense. now since I have a '97 I have a module so I am assuming all I have to do is disconnect the module???
Sorry but I am not a mechanic and I can be a little SSSSLLLOOOOWW sometimes!!!

Daytime running lights

Any ideas on how to disable the DLR module on an 96 Explorer because the module is bad, I'm not getting DLR... All fuses & relays are good in the fuse panel & dist. box.
all my (idiot) lights are functioning.

THe DLR flickers on & off sometimes.

I was thinking .... doing away with the module ....& installing an after market module.... (might be cheaper in the future)

Ford's seems to be notorious for these going bad ... cause my truck's not the only one with the problem ....

Thanks

The easiest way to disable the DRLs would probably be to just unplug the module which is behind the front bumper on the driver's side.
The newer modules from Ford seem to last longer than the originals.
