HA!!! no more stupid DRL

I hate DRL's so I was determined to find out how to disable them. Take Relay 22 under the hood and snip pin 78 not 78a just 78 and plug it back in. No more DRL, the ARM module doesn't care about seeing power go to the high beams all it cares about is see power and ground from the relay.

so how do u turn the lights on?

[alerocar01]

buy a new relay

[doubleN0alero]

electrical tape works much easier...

Here's the thing, The ARM module sends out a signal to to R22 provides low power to the high beams in the daytime. When pin 87 is snipped it cuts power on that circuit. Your low beam and high beam will still work.

[doubleN0alero]

the tape just cuts off the signal

Just snip it and plug it back in

Which pin do you clip to have hi and low beams on at the smae time (when switched of course)

[sound_xtreme]

ya, this is a known fact. i thought there was a how to somewhere on here. brent does it almost every year to peoples cars at ASS. ive done it for a couple local grand am and aleros here

[Redog]

I've seen the thread, but when I had the time to do it, I lost it

[Mr_White]

does this work on all years

because the 99 uses high beams as the DRL's

NO it don't..................Brent did mine and now my lights are effed up. Not brent's fault but more the 99 fault. it worked for awhile but now the high beams are dim as shit and on with the lows and a SVS light also. It's just effed up.

[Cliff8928]

you should be able to just unplug the DRL resistor to get them to go off.

[strtrydr]

^ nope you will get a damn SVS light

scott i dont think its the fact that i got rid of your DRL's thats effecting your high beams.

cutting off the drl's the way i do them buy slipping just a piece of electrical tape between the contact in the DRL relay in no way should make a difference in your highbeams.

putting the tape between the contacts only results in the relay not switching "on" when it gets the signal from the computer to turn the DRL's on.

you have another issue with your high beams and its not from getting rid of your drl's.

my car is a 99 as well and ive never had an issue with my high beams after i killed my DRL's

[Oldsman]

i have replaced bulbs and not the cause. never had an issue til you did the drl bypass. like i said i am not blaming you.

in the daytime my drl's are on but if i start it up in the garage and the lights come on it throws a SVS and then the DRL's go out. my high beams are way dim and the low beam on the driver side also. also highs and lows are on when the lights come on also.

i really need it to get scanned. i have even replaced relays and still same issue.

like i said never had an issue before but now i do right after it was done. so something happened.

[Cliff8928]

Did you check the headlight grounds for that issue? I just recently had to clean up the splice-pack on my drivers side fender because my turn signal went all crazy.

I Got A 2001 Alero And I've Been Meaning To Do This Simple Mod, But I Can't Find Relay 22 Under The Hood, I Need Some Help. Can Anyone Help Me Out? Im Tried Of The Low Yellow Drl's.
