In my '96 Chevy Blazer I found the easiest way to disable the DRLs was by pulling the fuse. The fuse that controlled the DRLs did not control anything else.

I picked up my Vibe on Saturday and according to the manual, the setup is the same in the Vibe/Matrix - the DRL fuse controls only the DRLs. Is there a reason that you couldn't just pull that fuse to do the same thing as described above?

I didn't try it but I thought I read on this board or the matrix board that the fuse controls other things that aren't listed in the owners manual. I think the fuse you are talking about is ECU-B. Wouldn't we feel stupid if that worked!

So basically this way kills DRL. How about this annoying automatic lighs on feature? It's really ticking me off.

That's what was annoying me as well so I disabled it. This method disables both DRL's and auto lights. From my original post:

I couldn't take the headlights turning off and on during bright sunlight so I decided to disable the automatic headlights and the DRL's.

Man, I tried to disable the DRLs and it's really tight fit there. I tried to remove the plasting cover from underneath but man I couldn't. Did you remove this plastic cover, the one that covers all the stuff where your knees are? If yes, can you tell me how?

---

I didn't have to remove anything. I just cut the wire and then grounded it. I had to lay on my back and look up using a flashlight. My head ended up right by the pedals.

So, you gotta go under the car? The pic you posted at the top, that's the view looking up from the ground?

Just want to mention that I just did this today, and other than it being EXTREMELY cramped, it went pretty smoothly and the results have me giddy.

I actually can control the lights on my car! GO ME! :D

I just went to check on my car and doubled checked all electrical things, and as far as I can tell, everything is working just like it did. If a problem does come up, it'll be easy (relativly) to splice the yellow wires back together. I might even go back in the future and install a plug system so all I would have to do is flip a switch to disable/re-enable the DRLs.

I just love these low-cost mods, I wish there were more for the Vibe

O.K.....I have to ask. W.T.F. is a strobe light controller, and what is it doing in your dash?

And, that under dash fuse box **** **** **** **** **** **** !

I simply snipped the yellow wire going to the DRL module above the gas and brake pedal, then grounded the side that goes to the module and covered the other side

OK, I've gotta give this a try, but want to double check (Hawke's pic is gone) to see if the pic below is the correct "module", if I've labeled the correct wire, and the text on the pic is correct.

For those of you who have done the mod, is this correct?

Thanks,

Carl

P.S. I just changed the pic from what was on there this afternoon. A member noted I had the text wrong in the pic.
