Trying to located a power source from the engine bay fuse box, to activate daytime running lights, can anyone tell me what's the best fuse to tap into, temporarily, Ineed it to pass inspection.

thanks !

 

Do you need switched power? I tapped one of the diagnostic port pins to provide switched +12v to a relay.

 

Are your daytime running lights already connected to a relay? If so, just poke around with a test light until you find a switched +12V, shouldn't be too difficult to find.

 

one of the lights come on when I turn the light stalk first click to the right, but the province that I live in requires day time lights to be on when the ignition is on (spark)

 

any idea which pin it was ? I need power as soon as I turn on the car(ignition)

 

anyone ??

 

There is a +12v IGN slot right above the fuse box.



Use a multimeter to find the right one, you will need a spade connector to get in there properly.

EDIT: "engine bay fusebox"..... sorry.

You should be able to find something, just pock around with a multimeter. Try the EFI fuse or something. The safest source to use is the one I pointed out above.

Just and idea, but maybe there's a way to bypass the first click on the headlight switch? That way when you turn on the car, it thinks you've already turned it that one click? I wouldn't think that would be too hard to do.

 

I don't recall exactly but I just checked each pin for 12v with the key on and then off. It's not rocket science...
