I dont want to disable them, i just want to be able to turn them
off... I work on a military installation, and its illegal to drive up
to the Checkpoint at night with Your headlights on.. while the DRLs
work at a reduced brightness, it can still be construed as headlights
on and therefore taken negatively by the guards.. Common sence would
have been a way to turn them off such as the case with most other car
manufacturers.... not only is it common sence but courtesy as well.

Since the guards are armed with weapons that would cause you to assume
ambient temperature if you disobeyed them...I'd find a way to turn em
off... <g>

Tell the Government to get with the times but if they are still ignorant try
shutting down your car - put on the parking brake (ist catch) and restart.
That should shut off the daytime lights till you release the parking brake.
Don't push hard enough on it to actually activate the brake.
Hope that helps. Please leave the day time lights activated as it makes it
easier for me to see you if and when I decide to pass another vehicle.

Good luck.

Do you know which jumper it is? The manual doesn't make reference to
it.

I'd have to go back out and look. I can take a picture if that will
help.

BTW, if I were to make this switchable I'd cut the jumper and solder two
wires and run those wires thru the fire wall boot above the steering
wheel to a switch mounted somewhere below the dash. It would work, but
kind of kludgy. I don't know about any other Toyotas, I'm just talking
about the 04 Sienna.

I would be interested in this also for my 4runner, it might have the same
jumper. Is the fuse box under the hood?

Yes it is. There was a extensive discussion on the Sienna club web site
regarding this subject.

Having lived on military bases in the past for many years, I believe
the E-nothings, still have sense enough to understand DRL verses full
headlights.

Check with base security for advice.

I agree with Tom. I've been on and off several bases in past months with
rentals that have DRL's with no problems. Chances are that Jeff is only
assuming there's a problem.

if the daytime running light system were not part of the headlight
system, id have just taken the bulbs out... however... since they DRL
are just the headlights at a reduced voltage.. its not so easy as to
ductape over em :-P­

I just checked the fuse block (under hood) on my 2005 4Runner and there is
no daytime running light fuse that I could find. Didn't check under the dash
fusebox. Have to learn to live with them, like them or not.

It's not really a fuse. It looks like a fuse, but it's a jumper.
Perhaps you're vehicle is different, but it seems to me they would keep
the same basic design.

But is it labeled? Such as "DRL", or something like that?...I didn't see
anything like that. The dealership told me that they would have to rewire
this and that and the bill would be about $160 to disable them. According to
what the factory rep. told the service mgr. I was the first to ever ask this
dealer about disabling the lights, or so he said.

On my Sienna it's not labeled. I've heard it before, like we've never
had a problem like yours, or this is the first time we've ever had a
request such as yours. LOL.

Go here: http://www.yotatech­.com/~corey/tech/duc­ky_drl/ducky.htm

If you can't find what you're looking for then Google this:

disable drl in toyota 4runner

Check web and groups for information.

There is a way and you can do it without spending 160 bucks.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'll try what you suggest and look at the fuse
box underhood again.

Won't be any grief! There is no jumper there and not under the dash either.
Don't really know why I got on the 'kick' to disable them anyway! They don't
really bother me. Only thing I don't like about them, is at dusk if you get
in the car you see the dashlights on and if not thinking about it, you'll
think the headlights may be on, when there are off. :-)­

Thanks Gord for the reply!

Oh my God!...I've never in my life come across anyone with your
lack of worth...how do you dare show your foolish face in this ng

never have progeny...those genes mankind doesn't need.
