ok i have an 2003 cavalier and was wondering how to hook up a relay so when i put the e-brake down the drl dont come on .
keep beepin azzhole im reloading!!!
perhaps you could just pull the drl fuse? works for my gp
I did a search and came up with this for you
2000 & up Cavalier
I have a fix for the cavalier DRL disable, with absolutely NO side affects. I had to buy the GM service manual to get all the info needed, but it works perfect. All you have to do is locate the Body control module located on the drivers side kick panel ( in front of the door, by your feet) once you are there, there are three connectors that plug into it. the middle plug has two rows of pins. the plastic keepers are lettered "A" and "B" unplug the center plug (the dome light will go off when you do this) locate the "A" & "B" markings on the darker blue portion of the connector. On the "B" side row of pins, there is a dark blue wire six spaces over from the one side, seven over from the other. Cut this wire and simply add on a piece to the side that goes to the module connector, long enough to reach any good ground lug, like a screw in the metal part of the dash. Connect the wire to ground, and inside the body control module, it see this to mean that the regular headlights are on, and so it energizes the relay that turns off the DRL's. That's it, try it, it works perfect, NO side Affects. I tried the relay trick before this, and was not happy with all the added stuff I would have to do to get around the side affects. Besides, I can put this back as easy as splicing a wire back in place. If you ground the wrong side of the wire then the headlights will stay on.
That is the best way to do it. If you do a search again you will find something much easier to follow though.
A few notes about that procedure...
> The instructions say to look on side "B" for the wire. This is not true. It could be on either side, in any spot. Not sure why, but people have said theirs are in different spots. But at any rate, the wire to cut is THE
ONLY DARK BLUE WIRE that you see in the plug.
> The insturctions state this but not very clearly: The part of the cut wire that needs to be grounded is the part coming FROM the plug. The other end just shove back somewhere so it dont short out on nothing.
Other then that, those directions are perfect, and that is exactly what I did.
However, there is one thing that happens, not really a side effect though. On some cars the DRL indicator light on the console will still come on (even though the DRLs dont), and on some cars the indicator does not. But either way, most people dont care aobut the indicator light anyways. In most cases, to my understanding, the indicator light is disabled.

wysiwyg- In every single DRL disabling forum that has ever existed... and probly every forum for anything, the "why" always comes up and people start arguing. Just accept that fact that different people have different tastes, different ides, different opinions, and different goals they want to acheive with various mods. Let him mod his car however he wants to, and he'll let you mod your car however you want to.
