[s-cars] Disabling the DRLs

[Sean Douglas]

Found it! Its just above the black plastic duct that runs in the
driver's footwell towards the outboard side.

I'm trying to follow the instructions on urs4.com by Igor K and I can't
find the 2-prong brown connector. Is it closer to the relay board or is
it somewhere forward of this up high?

I've pasted the instructions below:

Disabling the DRL

Below is an elegant and nondestructive way of doing this. No wires to
cut.

1. Disable the low beam portion of the DRLs:
1.1. Remove the bottom cover under the driver side dashboard. 1.2. Find
the 2-prong BROWN round connector with the YEL/BLK and YEL/WHT wires
coming out of it. This connector is buried in the wire mess above the
pedal cluster. It connects the series resistor to the LOW beam circuit.
Thus the LOWs in the DRL mode are running through this resistor at
reduced current when ignition is "ON" yet the headlights combo switch is
"OFF". Disconnect this connector.

2. Disable the parking lights portion of the DRL:
2.1. Open the main underhood relay/fuse box and remove the relay #7
(J90: top row, 4th from the left).

Enjoy the new found ability to work on the electricals of your car with
the prolonged "ignition-on" condition without draining the battery.

Oh, and did I mention that you can now also enjoy driving your car
without the idiotic DRLs?   :-)
