Has anyone figured out how to turn the day time running lights off while you are parked.

Every vehicle I have owned pushing the parking brake will turn off the lights. Not with my 2007 F 150.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks.

 

Easiest way to turn off runnimg lights when you are parked is to turn off key......also saves on fuel!!!

 

^^^^^^^ that's too funny

Good point but when it's cold it's nice to stay toasty warm with the heated seats

 

Fix your parking brake switch.

 

disconnect DRLs

 

RAM into the back of a dodge.

 

My cars do not turn off the DRL if they have been on already until the key goes off. However, if you have the parking brake on and then turn the vehicle on, the DRL will be off. Might want to give that a try and see if that is the case for you.

 

My 04 has a fuse for it but unfortunately it's the same fuse as for the low beam headlights so if I pull it I'm losing those too, there should be another way

 

I have an 04 too was wondering the same.

 

It seems there is no way to get the DRL to turn off other than turn off the key.

I have asked the dealer, other drivers and a mechanic friend.

The only fix is to get a switch wired in, or unhook the system totally.
