Ok, i've been looking for instructions on how to disable the daytime running lights on a Canadian Lancer.

They are NOT turned on/off by the steering column switch as most US people like to point out.
They are standard equip on all Canada vehicles since 1989ish, and turn on as soon as the put the key to ON. I also know that it is illegal to have them off in countries where they are required, but I want to toggle them so I can show off my sweet LEDs when my parking lights are on.

I've been through all my fuses with no success, and the US Lancer wiring diagram does not seem to include information on it as far as I can see.

Help please

 

I want to do the same.. if you find any info please share

Well so far i've come up with nothing.

Maybe i'll try asking Mitsubishi about this one.

 

I don't know how different the canadian lancer is... but try pulling up your e-brake - JUST ONE CLICK- if it is on your console... that is how most u.s. domestics work for turning off the day time running lights....

 

lol why would u want to do this?? please enlighten me

 

by pullin up your e-brake only one click... it doesn't affect your car at all... unless the canadian lancer is different... I have a buddy that drives and SS Camaro and he had the same problem with the lights and he pulls up his e-brake one click and no more lights... he has never had any problem with his brakes..

 

cut the power cord goin to the light

 

The ebrake thing don't work

I think I will have to rig up a switch to a relay that will cut the power to the hi beams.

I mustve missed this. Moving to the Canadian Forum. Hoepfully you can get some better help.

 

Psy-q, I can print you out a circuit diagram, but I can't send it to you (it's not in a pic-able file) so if you're ever in the area, let me know, I'll print one out if it'll be any help to you.

 

graeme, can you help me too? can you fax it?

there should be a small square shaped box under the driver dash that is marked with Mitsubishi and "DRL Module"...simply unplug it...this will cut the DRL's but won't affect any other lighting

i will remind you that this is illegal in Canada, but to each his own

 

Dr. Crash, could you give me an rough discription of where under the dash? What is it close to that I would recognize?

Thanks for the help

 

If it's a plug under the dash, I would assume far left. Either straight under the dash, of behind the kick panel. Drivers' side

 

All I see is the fuse panel and my alarm system. Nothing that looks like it could be capable of running the lights.
