after reading on this topic a bit. i went out to my car, which was stone dead cause stupid me left my aftermarket fog lights on.. AGAIN!! grrr.. anyways, i looked under the hood and on the fuse box there i saw a DRL relay fuse, i just pulled it out and voila. no DRL's. no service engine soon light or no bending of tabs etc.. seems to have worked on mine

mine is a 2005 MC LS

 

Paul1965 Please give more detail on witch tab to bend for DRLs. I have 05 SS . Would really like some more info on that. I tried just pulling the Relay and nothing happen no dash lights cam on nothing.

Correction: My Engine light came on today 3 days after i pulled relay Car doesnt sound of feel andy differnt> could pulling the DRLs relay cause my Engine light to come on few days late?

 

Hello Anyone Can Help here would be nice. I have no clue why Engine Light is on. thank you..

 

2000-2005 DRL disable By bending a tab. And it works found this site, tried it and it works. doesnt have its own montecarlo its under impala.

tried it on my 04 and it didn't work.

there are 2 tabs labeled 87 (87 and 87a). i tried both and my lights still came on. i also pulled the fuse and it left the right headlight on and made the left dim.

it's 8pm here now so maybe it's just dark enough that the night driving lights came on and no the daytime lights. i'll try again tomorrow.

 

thank you,i have wanted those damn drls off since i bought my monte!

 

so does the tab thing work for all of them , i have an o4 mc ss and want them off .

 

On the 06 & 07 montes, this turn the light switch to the left, it will turn off the DRL. When you do that the message center will say, auto lights off.

 

New to the forum -- and found this thread today. Wish we'd known about it sooner -- would have saved a lot of trouble in trying to disable our DRL. Each day we try to read some of the older threads, figuring we can answer a lot of our questions without annoying posters with questions answered multiple times before.

 

The Daytime Running Lights are on because extensive research proved that having them on could be the one reason that prevented someone from hitting you head-on!
Having said that, ... further discussion about disabling them is ridiculous!

Here's how to have Fog Lights turn-off when you Park the car:

Run the LOAD to the LAMPS through a RELAY which is Opened/Closed by a FEED from an Accessory Fuse Terminal via a "Fuse Tap". Ground the triggering signal to the RELAY to the Frame. When you turn the Key OFF ... the Fog Lights ... Go OFF!

Phase two:
Run the LOAD for the LIGHTS to a spot where you have installed >>TWO<< Power RELAYS.
Splice a wire to the Load Wire enabling the Load to ENTER >> BOTH << Relays.
From BOTH Relays: Run a Wire OUT and SPLICE THEM BOTH to the Wire Feeding Power to the Lamps.
Trigger Relay #1 with a Feed from Low Beams ON
Trigger Relay #2 with a Feed from High Beams ON

Using Siamese Speaker Wire
Attach one end to Relay-1 Trigger Ground
Attach other to the Relay-2 Trigger Ground
Run Grounding Wire through Steering Column Boot to SWITCH Location on Dash.
Install 3-Way Switch: A-On - B-ON Center-Off (DPDTCO)

Run #1 Wire fm Relay to Switch-A+ and additionsl Wire fm Switch A- to Ground
Run #2 Wire fm Relay to Switch-B+ and additional Wire fm Switch B- to Ground.

Fog Light Operation: Ignition Switched Power for Lights. User preference: ON High or ON Low or Off.
