Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The DRL system is controlled by the lighting control module (LCM). The LCM is located behind the LH instrument panel lower insulator, rearward of the accelerator pedal. The system is designed to turn the high beam headlamps on at a reduced intensity when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
- The headlamps have not been commanded on from any other input.
- The vehicle is not in PARK.
The DRL system remains active until the autolamp system turns on the headlamps or the headlamp switch is turned to the HEADLAMPS ON position.
The high beams are illuminated at full intensity when flash-to-pass mode is requested.
