Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The daytime running lamp (DRL) system operates the headlamps at a reduced intensity due to the DRL resistor when the following conditions are met:
- The high beam headlamps are disabled
- The ignition switch is in the RUN position
- The headlamp switch is in the OFF position
- The parking brake is not engaged
The DRL system consists of:
- daytime running lamp relays (located in the engine compartment).
- the daytime running lamp resistor (located near the LH headlamp below power steering fluid bottle).
