Default Help Needed with "DRL" Warning Light in 92 Accord

Hello All ...

I'm hoping someone may have encountered this problem before.

This applies to Canadian model Honda Accords 90-93, but may be a general Accord problem at the same time.

The "DRL" warning light stays on while driving. According to the manual this indicates a burnt out high beam light. A high beam light was indeed burnt out and was changed and works ... most of the time.

The DRL light still stays illuminated though while driving. The only time this warning light switches off is when the headlights are switched on for night driving.

I'm thinking there may be a faulty wire somewhere, or, I know in the case with some cars, there has to be something that needs reseting in order for the light to switch off.

Any ideas, Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
kovacsa

Most of the time, huh? Maybe it needs to work all the time? I don't know much about daytime running lights, we don't see many Canadian cars.

it's a tough question since most of us don't even have DRL.
try to reset the ecu and see what happen?

Who's got a Helm manual for that year??

Mine have the Canadian DRL systems in there. I've just got the wrong years...

This happenned to me this winter. You need to change your DRL controller box. It's close to the fusebox, but can't tell you where exactly, since it's not me who changed it. It takes 5 minutes to change. Doesn't cost too much either.
