I have searched the history on how to turn the daytime running lights on and the fuse jumper is a great easy fix....but, what exactly does the dealer do differently that they charge 2 hours labour totalling $200 Cdn.
Leading evidence: 'Run lights' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run lights' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Finally got into a 911!
I know this topic has come up before...but bear with me. I have searched the history on how to turn the daytime running lights on and the fuse jumper is a great easy fix....but, what exactly does the dealer do differently that they charge 2 hours labour totalling $200 Cdn. Is it 100X better solution? Does jumping fuses do any harm? Any insight to this would be great.
My 2001 C4 now has 20,000 miles and the seat heat fuse "links" to enable DRLs (5W headlight assembly bulbs and parking/street/tail) is still working fine and no detrimenatl effects insofar as I know.
Been trying to figure out how to disable the DRL's myself, but still keep the rear license plate lights on. I don't understand it. Why is the US version wired differently than the Canadian version of this car with respect to the license plate light? Makes no sense so I just use the DRL's. Whatever.
wwest, thanks for the reply. Practically speaking, I guess that's all I really needed to know. Why complicate things if I don't have to. Fuse "linking' is what i'll do. Thanks again.
The key thing is only 7 pages.
I will tell you what little I know since I'm in the US. Our cars are missing a double relay, a relay that is twice the size of the others. You cannot just plug in the relay and have thing work because the socckets where the relay plugs into are not wired. The relay tray is removed and wired. That takes time.
Most of us with common sense, even only an iota thereof, recognize that any small thing that potentially increases our life's duration is worth the effort.
If you're worried about the energy consumed that convert all the DRL "functions" to LEDs as I did.
It is originally a US car. In order to pass Can. Federal inspection the DRL's must be activated. I have no personal interest in having them.
Tool Pants, thanks for the insight. Not that I'm interested but, I guess dealers don't make that info readily available, do they?
Is
energy
really a concern? I mean do batteries and alternators last longer on cars without DRL's?... does Bhp reduce?....is fuel consumption an issue?
