My trusty old Accord has developed some interesting problems.. the worst being that the daytime running lights will come on by themselves when the car is shut off, parked in the driveway in fact. It runs down the battery doing this, which is the primary issue.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what was the cause? Hard to justify spending a load of money troubleshooting an old car.

DRL module is bad, replace it. 94

 

I pulled the fuse for it today, I'll drive the car for a week or two and see if anything else odd happens before starting to look for a module. I'm guessing a new one is pricey from Honda.

Unfortunately like in most newer cars, the electrical system is over-engineered, ther head lights, [DRLS] are controlled by a number of things, starting with the combination switch that then goes to the combination switch controller and then to the under dash fuse box and the MICU, multiplex control unit] as it has a number of functions including exterior lights, it is most likely your problem. 94
