DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP
RELAY

REMOVAL

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are only used in

vehicles manufactured for the Canadian market,
where this is required equipment. On vehicles
equipped with DRL, a right and a left DRL relay are
each located in a dedicated connector of the vehicle
wire harness. Each connector is snapped into an
opening in a stamped sheet metal bracket which is
secured with screws within the driver side front seat
riser just beneath the seat riser cover panel.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental

restraint

system

before

attempting

any

steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagno-
sis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before perform-
ing further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the supplemental restraint sys-
tem. Failure to take the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment.

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

cable.

(2) Move the driver side front seat to its most for-

ward position for easiest access to the seat riser
cover panel (Fig. 12).

(3) Remove the cover panel from the top of the

driver side seat riser.
