    DRL shut-off

    I followed the DRL DIY from Vamp and cut the red/blue wire on pin #23.

    The DRL no longer works which is great; however, I now have a new problem.
    My gauge lights aren't turning on anymore. Has anyone had the same experience?

    If you lose the DRL's you will also lose the auto-on feature, about the gauge light not working, it could be a blown fuse

    It is the GAUGE fuse on the back of the storage door thingy on the left side of the steering wheel. I had the SAME THING happen to me when I disabled my DRL. I think it is because one of the cut wires shorted something. But replace that fuse and you will be okay.

    IM think the same as Jtweezy, same thing happened to me, cost me 175 dollars for land & Robertson to fix the solder the wire back and replace the fuse, thats when i knew nothing about cars lol. Lesson learned.
