The lights come on when you start the car. They will not come on if you have the park brake on. Once you release the park brake they will come on immediately.
Start the van and see if the lights turn on automatically.
As soon as the engine is started and the emergency / parking brake is released the daytime running lights are supposed to come on
You turn the headlight switch to the left when you start the vehicle.
the daytime running lites go out when you put the trans in park. they also go out when you depress the parking brake. i would start looking there.
As soon as you start the vehicle ( and parking brake is released) they automatically come on (Helpfull)
If you cut the wire from the light switch to the frount running lights (single use light) you can then hook a new wire from a keyed power source (check manuel) and the running lights will come on every time you start the truck. costs $Priceless
turn the key to acc. put the parking brake on 1 click and then start it the lights shouldn't come onAnswerPull the fuse to it.
There are 2 ways - 1) key off the vehicle off, engage the parking brake, then start the vehicle. Once the parking brake is disengaged the lights will come back on. 2) remove the DRL (daytime running lights) fuse (located in the glove box).
You don't unless you are parked with the engine running. If you are parked and you want the engine running but don't want the daytime running lights on just shut the car off and set the parking brake then start the car back up. The lights should remain off until you release the parking brake.
Not sure on the disconnect part, but after you start the truck, push your dome light on and off 4 times, you will hear it chime, the daytime running lights will then be out. But you gotta do it each time you start the vehicle....
Sounds like your vehicle is equipped with the daytime running lights (DRL system) When the vehicle is started and the emergency brake is released , the daytime running lamps automatically come on. Start your vehicle and then apply the parking brake to see if the headlights shut off , if they do then you have the DRL system.
While the Rav4 is turned off, pull the emergency brake up one click and then start it up. This will leave the running lights off and the emergency brake will not be engaged when it is pulled up only one click.
